Overland Expo is expanding its 2026 SoCal event by launching a new outdoor pavilion.
Overland Expo said the Outdoor Lifestyle Pavilion will spotlight categories that complement vehicle-based adventure. The pavilion will include categories such as camping, surfing, paddle sports, mountain biking, hiking and photography.
Overland Expo Vice President of Consumer and Events and Show Director Jessica Kirchner said the addition reflects growing crossover between the outdoor and overland communities.
“Our attendees are not only passionate about their rigs, but also the activities they pursue once they arrive at camp,” Kirchner said. “The Outdoor Lifestyle Pavilion brings all of that together, making SoCal a true hub for the complete outdoor experience.”
Overland Expo said the event is a place where guests can discover, test and purchase gear that enhances their experiences.
The company said over 19,000 people attended Overland Expo SoCal 2025. Three-quarters of attendees were new to the Overland Expo series.
Overland Expo SoCal 2026 will be held March 14–15 at the OC Fair & Event Center in Costa Mesa, California.
