Preparing for the 2026 Show

​Now that the leaves are turning, we’re excited to be preparing applications for the 50th Kalamazoo Living History Show, scheduled for March 21-22, 2026.

We will be continuing the tradition of mailing paper applications the day after Thanksgiving. Keep an eye out on the website, kalamazooshow.com, as well as our Facebook page for milestone updates as we prepare for the show.

A couple things to note:

1) There is a hotel scam going around trying to connect itself with the show. I have a short breakdown of the scam on our website here- (https://www.kalamazooshow.com/show-updates/be-aware-kalamazoo-show-hotel-scam)

2) Please note the NEW return address for show applications. You can see this new address in our email signature, as well as the applications When you receive them.

3) We have received a lot of questions about changes to the show. It is our philosophy to continue the great structure Rick and Leslie have carried from the show’s founders, Larry and Carol Coin. You can check out a recorded version of an open Q & A about our transition into owners of the show here- (https://youtu.be/E5V5YemVBKI?si=Zkjv1NQcuFY9L4w1,)

As always, if you have any questions please reach out via email. We will get back with you as quickly as we can.

Thank you all for your time. We are excited to see you in March!

​All the best,

Ethan and Paisley Yazel
