More details on the official agenda and FAQs.
Camp!
Enjoy 2 nights of camping at the beautiful Albion Hills Conservation Area in Caledon, Ontario. Bring your rig and show off your kit while sharing what you’ve learned throughout your build experience and travels. Attendees will enjoy their own 20’x30′ (approximately sized) camp spot.
With 3 different camping areas, attendees can choose where they would love to call home for the weekend. Individual sites can’t be reserved, but should you be travelling with a group of 3 or more rigs and wish to be close to each other, please contact us at info@overlandnth.ca and we will do our best to accommodate your requests. Any requests to be grouped together must be made more than 30 calendar days before the event and you can only be put in a group with people who bought a ticket for the same camping area. Within 30 days of the event we are no longer able to facilitate group camping requests (but you can arrange to arrive together and pick spots that are close to each other).
Toilets, hand washing stations and potable water are provided along with fire bowls and wood for warmth and comfort. Showers are NOT provided so please come prepared. The event is happening rain or shine so be ready.
**Camping spots are reserved for campers and not vendors. Should you wish to be an exhibitor and sell your merchandise at the event please contact us at info@overlandnth.ca and a member of our team will be in touch!
Connect!
Throughout the event, all Passholders will have the chance to engage with exhibitors in our Expo Alley. Learn about the latest products and services to help with your build or next adventure and/or buy that missing bit of kit.
Drive!
There will be a self-guided route available with milder off-road elements and lots of amazing side roads and vistas. We will also have a local points of interest drive that includes some of the natural wonders in the Headwaters area as well as some great shops, eateries, breweries, and vineyards.
We will be observing Tread Lightly principles and will be sure to be stewards of the land as we explore leaving only tire tracks, and taking only pictures.
Learn!
Weekend and Day pass holders will enjoy clinics throughout the weekend providing the opportunity to learn, contribute and engage as a community. There will be presentations that share stories and adventures from travels on the road, clinics to share knowledge about Overlanding techniques and products, and panel discussions to dive into specialized topics.
Jam!
Live entertainment is a core component of the OverlandNTH experience! Come prepared to enjoy some sweet sounds of great Canadian artists with the perfect backdrop at beautiful Albion Hills!
Feast!
We are pleased to provide dinner on Saturday night with all the trimmings for our weekend pass holders. This means a Driver and Rig ticket includes one ticket for the Feast and a Co-Pilot ticket includes one ticket for the Feast. Saturday night dinner tickets for children must be purchased separately.
*Please note that the Feast is not available for Day Pass Holders.
We’ll see you at The Gathering!
