Gather Around the Campfire at Overland Expo East

We’re one month out from Overland Expo East, where thousands of overlanders will gather in the Blue Ridge Mountains to check out the newest gear, learn from a wide range of experts, and get inspired to head out on future adventures. While there’s plenty happening each day of the event, the action doesn’t stop once the sun sets at Overland Expo, so grab a seat by the fire, get a snack, and enjoy the fall weather in Virginia with us.

Happy Hour is for exhibitors, instructors, attendees, and everyone else who makes Overland Expo a special place to gather. Also, during the Friday Happy Hour, don’t miss the Women Who Wander event.
