The Adventure Van Expo series is heading to Chattanooga to host the eighth event of their tour at Camp Jordan Parkway, Oct. 1 and 2. The expo is open to all ages and will feature a full weekend of van vendors including builders, rental companies, overland companies, adventure vehicles, food, music, seminars and more.
Put on in partnership with host sponsor Storyteller Overland, event goers should expect to find accessories, builds and gear for their adventure all in one location.
“This is the perfect space to check out vendors and accessories for van builds along with discovering new products on the market,” said Neil Morse, founder of Adventure Van Expo. “The expo will be full of unique displays and is a space where attendees can talk with experts on their craft.”
The Expo will run Saturday, Oc. 1, from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. and Sunday, Oct. 2, from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. and feature open house vans, accessories, vendors, custom builds and a variety of rigs beyond vans including roof top tents, trailer tents and cargo trailers. Those looking to spend the weekend at Adventure Van Expo can camp on Friday and Saturday nights and roll in starting Friday evening at 4 p.m. It is the perfect space to hang out with other van owners and connect with the van life community throughout the two-day event, said officials.
Saturday will be a full day of live music along with eats and drinks from local food trucks and microbrews. Van builders looking to display their work are encouraged to join the Adventure Van Expo DIY Contest taking place on Saturday, which will be viewed by hundreds of event goers and rated by van build experts. Sunday’s Expo continues with the same packed list of vendors and open house vans along with live music, food trucks and local brews.
