Overland Expo is Heading to California

Overland Expo has added a new addition to our family of events. The fifth event in our series is officially Overland Expo SoCal, and it’s happening March 15-16 at OC Fair & Event Center in Costa Mesa. California has a thriving overland scene, and many of our attendees call this area home.

“We’re pleased to bring Overland Expo to Southern California, expanding our series to serve an audience that’s been asking for this for years,” said Jessica Kirchner, Vice President of Consumer Events for Emerald, owners of Overland Expo. “Overland Expo SoCal appeals to seasoned adventurers and newcomers interested in exploring what’s next in overlanding. Overland Expo SoCal reflects our commitment to growing with the community and providing unforgettable experiences across the country.” 

Like other events in the Overland Expo series, 250+ exhibitors will show up and outfit attendees. Attendees will also participate in classes, demonstrations, and activities taught by seasoned instructors and presenters from around the globe. And you’ll undoubtedly meet some inspiring fellow travelers from the surrounding region and the world!

Tickets for Overland Expo SoCal are available now! Don’t delay locking in your spots as this new event has already proven to be incredibly popular.

If you can’t make it to California, then we hope to see you at one or more of the 2025 events like Overland Expo West in Flagstaff, AZ, Overland Expo Pacific Northwest in Redmond, OR, Overland Expo Mountain West in Loveland, CO, and Overland Expo East in Arrington, VA.
