OVERLAND EXPO WEST

The Biggest Overland Party in the West Finishes Another Successful Year

- DILLON HOUCK

2025 has been a major year for the Overland Expo Group. Following the smashing success of the 1st annual Overland Expo SoCal in Costa Mesa, thousands of off-roaders, overlanders, and van-lifers made their way down to Flagstaff, Arizona, to join in on yet another weekend of good food, great community, and some awesome rigs. The original Expo West has been the largest and most popular up until this year, with a four-event schedule that stretched across the country from north to south and east to west.

While some skepticism on the potential turnout existed (due to the possibility that the 2025 addition of the new California Expo would cannibalize interest in the Flagstaff event), the overall attendance certainly held up to West's legacy. 2025 proved to be a big year for both new and familiar brands alike in the off-road space, with new faces popping up across the vendor village, combined with launches of new products from established legacy brands.

So... Overland Expo West 2025... Let's get into it!

An Event with an Almost Cult-Like Following

If you grew up like I did, then you might remember spending a week or two every year at summer camp. Each year's return meant reuniting with old camp friends, making new memories, and likely finding some new friends along the way. Once the time came to pack your duffle bag, strip the bed in your cabin, and head back to society, odds are you even tried your best to stay in touch with those camp friends until the next time you all reunited.

This is what Overland Expo West is like...
