About The Event
Texas Tour -- A Texas Tradition Since 1953
The Texas Tour is an annual touring event sponsored by the Antique Automobile Club of America (AACA).   Since it founding in 1953, the tour has brought antique and classic automobile enthusiasts together to explore the history, culture, and scenic roads of communities across Texas.

-Unlike a trational car show, Texas Tour is a driving event.  Participants spend several days traveling together in their antique and classic automobiles, visiting museums, historic sites, local businesses, restaurants, and attractions while experiencing the unique character of each host community.

-Each year a different AACA region serves as host. In 2027, the Gulf Coast Region is honored to welcome participants to Bryan-College Station and the Brazos Valley for the 73rd Annual Texas Tour.

Why Bryan College Station?
The Gulf Coast Region selected Bryan-College Station as the host community for the 73rd Annual Texas Tour because it offers the ideal combination of history, hospitality, scenic driving routes, and visitor experiences that have made the Texas Tour a success for more than seven decades.

Located in the heart of the Brazos Valley, Bryan-College Station provides convenient access to outstanding museums, historic sites, wineries, unique shopping, excellent restaurants, and beautiful rural roads--perfect for touring antique and classic automobiles.

A note from the Chairman: "As Tour Chairman and a proud Texas A&M graduate, I was especially excited to indroduce our members to a community that has played such an important role in my own life.  The Brazos Valley offers visitors an authentic Texas experience, and we look forward to sharing that experience with participants from across Texas and neighboring states."

Our Goal
Our goal is simple: To introduce visitors to the people, places, history and hospitality that make Bryan-College Station a unique destination worth returning to.

Texas Tour is more than a driving event--it is an opportunity to showcase the Brazos Valley while supporting local businesses and encouraging future tourism.
 
 
Economic & Community Impact
An Event That Benefits Local Businesses
Texas Tour participants don't simply attend an event--they become visitors to the communities that host them.  During the four-day tour, participants stay in local hotels, dine in the area restaurants, purchase fuel, visit museums and attractions, shop at local businesses, and explore the surrounding region.

The Gulf Coast Region is committed to working with local partners to maximize these opportunities while showcasing everything the Brazos Valley has to offer.
