If travel is on your bucket list, mark your calendar now! Join us on Saturday, September 19, 2026, from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the BlackRock Center for the Arts in Germantown, Maryland, for our annual Travel & Adventure Show—a day of travel inspiration, expert presentations, exclusive offers, and community giving.
Whether you’ve been dreaming of a European river cruise, an African safari, an escorted tour through Italy, a luxury ocean voyage, a scenic rail journey, or an unforgettable small ship expedition, you’ll find plenty of ideas under one roof. Registration is complimentary; however, advance registration and a donation to Comfort Cases are required to attend.
Throughout the day, you’ll hear presentations from some of the travel industry’s leading companies. AmaWaterways will showcase their award-winning luxury river cruises and exceptional pre- and post-cruise land programs throughout Europe, Asia, Africa, South America, Egypt, and beyond. Collette will share their worldwide collection of guided vacations, small ship adventures, rail journeys, ocean and river cruises, and immersive cultural experiences spanning all seven continents. Premier World Discovery will introduce travelers to an exciting variety of escorted land tours, scenic rail vacations, exclusive European river cruise charters, and bucket-list adventures including Alaska, Machu Picchu, African safaris, Australia and New Zealand, and Costa Rica. Oceania Cruises will highlight their destination-rich itineraries, world-class cuisine, elegant small ships, and immersive voyages to fascinating destinations around the globe.
Between presentations, you’ll have time to visit each travel partner’s display table, ask questions, browse brochures, and speak with travel experts. It’s the perfect opportunity to compare travel styles, gather ideas, and begin planning your next unforgettable vacation with confidence.
The day also includes time to meet our team at Cruise Planners – Beth Borrego & Rod Rodriguez and Associates. Whether you’re planning your next vacation or want to learn more about today’s travel opportunities, we’d love to visit with you, answer your questions, and help make your travel dreams a reality.
Most importantly, this event benefits an outstanding nonprofit organization, Comfort Cases. Founded to support children entering foster care, Comfort Cases replaces the trash bags many children receive with backpacks filled with comfort items, books, pajamas, blankets, toiletries, and other essentials that provide dignity, hope, and a reminder that they matter.
Guests will have the opportunity to learn more about Comfort Cases, participate in our raffle drawings, and help us raise funds throughout the day. We’ll conclude the event by announcing our raffle winners and proudly presenting our donation check to this remarkable organization.
Whether you’re planning your next vacation or simply looking for an enjoyable Saturday filled with travel inspiration, we invite you to join us. Come discover new destinations, meet travel experts, support an incredible local charity, and leave inspired for your next adventure.
We look forward to welcoming you on Saturday, September 19, at the BlackRock Center for the Arts!
