Vanlife & Overlanding Events 2025
I have compiled a list of vanlife and overlanding events, gatherings, expos, and tours in the USA, Canada, Europe, and beyond! I have tried to be as thorough as possible, so there are events that are VW specific, club membership specific, and even some that are more exhibition style in order to be a fully inclusive list that has something for everybody.
Since a lot of events have been announced for 2025, I am posting this now knowing there will be many events that still need to be announced with exact dates and locations. I will continue to update this as these get announced and encourage everyone to keep checking this post for updates. If you know of any events that I am missing, please let me know so I can add it to the list.
Feel free to share this list, post it on social media, and let’s all get together and keep building this amazing nomadic community! Thank you.
