The Recap & ExcitementOverland Expo PNW 2026

Day 1 set the tone from the start — good energy, full schedules, and a crowd ready to be here. Here's a look at how it went.

• Friday gave attendees two ways to get behind the wheel. Some took on Overland Expo Training, while others tackled the Trail Course Experience in their own vehicles with expert guidance along the way. It was a hands-on day built for learning, testing skills and getting after it.
• Friday's Happy Hour Sponsored by OGO Compost Toilet / Configure Brands, pulled the community together over cold drinks and good energy. It was the perfect way to kick off the evening's programming.
• Women Who Wander Networking Event, sponsored by MAXXIS Tires. The women shaping overlanding showed up with stories worth hearing. Attendees gathered on the grass, shared a charcuterie board and connected with the people who get why they do this.
• At Toyota Game Night, attendees gathered around campfires for a lively, music-infused twist on bingo, all while enjoying light bites under the Redmond night sky.
• The Overland Expo Film Festival took place at the Hi-Line Home Hall on Friday from 7–9pm. It was a great night of adventure-driven storytelling that brought the overland community together on the big screen.

Day 2 was all about the people. Overlanders connected, found their crew, and spent the day exactly they you belong.

• Saturday kept the momentum going with more Overland Expo Training. Attendees spent more time sharpening skills, building confidence and learning from experts in a hands-on setting. It was another strong day of doing, not just watching.
• Subaru’s pet adoption event gave attendees the chance to spend time with some incredibly adorable dogs looking for homes. We’ve already heard that a few were adopted, and we’re excited to find out today’s final total.
• Camp Subaru LIVE! was packed and gave attendees a place to reset before the evening activities. Live music, food, and drinks were enjoyed among storytelling, and interactive brand moments that kept attendees gathered well into the afternoon.
• Saturday's Happy Hour Sponsored by Guild Outfitters, brought the whole community together as the evening rolled in. Cold drinks, good people and that end-of-day energy set the tone for Saturday night's charity raffle the right way.
• The Overland Expo Foundation Charity Raffle, an attendee favorite, and delivered again. The energy ran high. Ticket sales and your donations raised more than $18k for the Foundation. That's what this community does.

Day 3 closed the way every good weekend should — with momentum still running high and a community that stuck around until the very last moment. See you in 2027.

• pFriem Family Brewers kept the taps flowing all weekend, pouring cold ones for thirsty overlanders right from their booth. It was a natural gathering spot — the kind of place where good conversations happen and the crowd never really thins out.
• Overland Expo PNW closed out strong, with education sessions running all day. Attendees walked away with real, trail-ready knowledge they can put to use on their next trip.
• The exhibitor midway stayed busy right through the final day. You got hands on the latest gear and talked shop with the brands building it.
• If you missed it, you missed something good. 2027 is already on the horizon, so claim your spot early and be part of what's next.
• Exhibitors, you brought it this weekend. The connections you made and the products you launched speak for themselves. We'd love to keep the momentum going with you in Colorado and Virginia before the year wraps.
• If this weekend was any sign, next year goes even further. We hope to see you there.
