Welcome to the

2026 Tennessee Tow Show

Bringin’ It Home!

Training and Seminars: October 15 – 16
Exhibits Open: October 16 – 17

We’re excited that you’re interested in attending the 2026 Tennessee Tow Show! This premier event celebrates the strength, innovation, and heritage of the U.S. towing industry — right here in its birthplace, Chattanooga.

In 1916, Ernest Holmes introduced the automotive world to the first commercial tow truck, forever changing the industry. Since that groundbreaking moment, Chattanooga has proudly stood as the home of towing and recovery in America.

Just minutes from the show, you can visit the International Towing and Recovery Hall of Fame and Museum during Museum Weekend, with events planned throughout the weekend as well.

This year’s Tow Show is shaping up to be stronger than ever, with exhibit space filling quickly. Be sure to check back often for updated schedules, seminar details, and the latest exhibitor list.

We look forward to welcoming you to Chattanooga for an unforgettable 2026 Tennessee Tow Show.
