The Adventure Van Expo series is heading back to North Lake Tahoe on September 16 & 17, 2023, its seventh stop in the nationwide tour. The annual expo has moved to Palisades Tahoe, a new venue this year which can accommodate additional vendors and guests. The two days event is open to all ages and features a full weekend of activities including new products, top-of-the-line models for viewing, the industry’s experts, DIY van builds, rental companies, build accessories, food, live music, seminars and more. Supported by the North Tahoe Community Alliance, eventgoers can expect to find new products, experience the van life community, and learn from the experts all in one location.
“We are excited to be back in North Lake Tahoe and at a new venue,” said Neil Morse, founder of Adventure Van Expo. “We keep growing! North Tahoe is one of our most popular shows and moving it to Palisades allows more space for vendors and guests. This show is particularly special to me because it is home to the first-ever Adventure Van Expo. Plus, there are so many outdoor activities to enjoy while you are here, biking, hiking, climbing, paddling, and camping – it is really a perfect fit for the van community.”
The Expo will run Saturday, September 16 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, September 17 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and feature open house vans, accessories, vendors, and custom builds. In addition to vans, there will be a variety of camping rigs to view including truck campers, off-road tear camping trailers, and exploration vehicles. Those looking to spend the weekend at Adventure Van Expo can camp on Friday and Saturday nights and roll in starting Friday evening at 4 p.m. Both days will feature live music along with eats and drinks from local vendors. Van builders looking to display their work are encouraged to join the Adventure Van Expo DIY Contest taking place on Saturday, which will be viewed by hundreds of event goers and rated by van build experts.
