Join the Washington Automotive Press Association for the 2017 WAPA Rally! We are planning an exciting and informative annual drive event on the roads just beyond the Chesapeake Bay Bridge on the scenic Eastern Shore of Maryland. This is your opportunity to drive or ride in the latest and greatest cars, trucks and SUVs provided by our automotive partners. This year we have a full day of driving scheduled, while also offering great opportunities for networking.

Event fee includes beverages, light breakfast, hearty lunch, sunset reception hors d’oeuvres and a special WAPA gift. We’ll also have contests and prizes to add to the fun. You will have much to share with your audience during and after your day of driving fun at the 2017 #WAPARally. We look forward to seeing you there, and don’t forget to invite a prospective new media member to join us for our premier annual event!
