uring many summers, NEMCA has organized special one-day get-togethers of magic collectors and historians.  These have taken a number of forms, including picnics or a small convention, and have often included magic performances, lectures, and/or an auction.  These summer gatherings have usually been primarily intended for NEMCA members, though other magic collectors have often been invited to attend.  Some past summer get-togethers have included:
 

	Clambake at Woodman's of Essex, June 27, 2004, Essex, Massachusetts
	Clambake at Woodman's of Essex, June 22, 2003, Essex, Massachusetts
	A Summer Gathering of Magical History, 1-day convention, June 24, 2001, Worcester, Massachusetts
