2026 SCA Road Trip

From Googie to Glamour: LA’s Roadside Stars

By Janice Rohn

Mark your calendars for July 10-13, 2026

The 2026 SCA Road Trip will feature three full days of touring the architectural gems across Los Angeles and Hollywood.

Highlights include an opening reception with Charles Phoenix; celebrating the 100th anniversary of Route 66 at the Santa Monica Pier; exploring classic theaters, drive-ins, and more; and an optional neon tour. We’re excited that Kevin Patrick and local guides will share fascinating stories and offer exclusive access to historic sites and venues in a way that only SCA can provide. We’ll soon share more details, and look forward to seeing you in LA!
