As health restrictions and social distancing mandates took hold during the COVID-19 pandemic, more and more folks picked up Overlanding as a hobby. Many reveled in the opportunity to return to nature, and the Overlanding’s popularity skyrocketed as a result. The Overland Expo Foundation has also benefitted from that surge in interest, and the organization’s first-ever Pacific Northwest (PNW) event proved that the community only continues to grow.
Held at the Deschutes County Fairgrounds in Redmond, Oregon, the inaugural Overland Expo PNW welcomed thousands of enthusiasts throughout the weekend of July 8-11, 2022. Each day, over 330 sponsors, exhibitors, and vendors welcomed travelers from near and far.
