National Convention

For its centennial celebration, The American Legion returns to the city that hosted its first National Convention – Minneapolis, Minnesota.

The 100th National Convention takes place August 24 – 30, 2018, at the Minneapolis Convention Center, 1301 2nd Ave S., Minneapolis, MN 55403.

The American Legion’s largest annual meeting brings together all of its 55 departments – the 50 states, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, France, Mexico and Philippines.

The New York delegation is staying at the Millennium Minneapolis.
