Overland Expo SoCal 2027 in Costa Mesa, CA

Overland Expo SoCal is the West Coast kickoff of the world's premier overlanding event series, taking over the OC Fair & Event Center in Costa Mesa, California on March 13-14, 2027. The weekend brings together more than 400 exhibitors of overland vehicles, camping gear, adventure travel outfitters, and motorcycle equipment, alongside a packed schedule of 100+ hours of education led by 50+ expert instructors and presenters. Whether you're outfitting a first rig or upgrading a seasoned build, you'll find demos, slideshows, DIY and showcase areas, roundtable discussions, and specialized pavilions covering backcountry cooking, women who wander, and overland essentials. On-site camping keeps the community together through happy hour, evening programming, and the Overland Expo Foundation charity raffle. Set minutes from the Southern California coastline and close to the Santa Ana Mountains and Cleveland National Forest, Costa Mesa makes an easy base for combining the expo with a coastal or mountain detour. Day passes, weekend passes, and camping options are available, and all tickets must be purchased online in advance.
