Overland Expo Mountain West is quickly approaching — with a little less than a month left to go before the event, it’s time to get hyped about the exhibitors, gear, friends and of course, happy hours and parties that make the event a can’t-miss occasion for the overlanding community.

From local eats to best-selling brews, we’ve got tons of delicious treats and refreshing beverages to sample as you explore the grounds. We are hosting more food trucks than ever before, which will be open during all public event hours — and there will even be some food trucks with extended service hours for those of you joining us to camp.
