The annual Victoria Outdoor Adventure Show – Greater Victoria's largest outdoors show – returns to Colwood this weekend, showcasing everything you need to celebrate summer on Vancouver Island.
With more than 35,000 square feet at Colwood's Juan de Fuca Recreation Centre packed with adventure, you'll find the gear, gadgets, destinations and expertise to fuel your outdoor pursuits, notes show host Darcy Hope, from Evergreen Exhibitions.
"We look forward to building on the show every year and the 2025 Outdoor Adventure Show promises to be even bigger and better," Hope says. "There's just so much to see and do – no matter your age or where your outdoor adventures take you, you'll find so many local resources to help you experience the best of the West Coast."
From substantial purchases like trucks, boats and RVs, to gear and accessories for camping, hiking, fishing and hunting, you'll find it here, not to mention tips and tools for adventure sports, water sports, survival and overlanding, e-bikes and more. Dreaming of a trip to a remote fishing lodge or paddling adventure? Start your experience here, with the people who can make it happen!
As the show celebrates its third anniversary, expect to see a variety of new exhibitors, alongside established favourites. Add to that an array of amazing prizes from exhibitors, plus a demo zone running all weekend, including archery demonstrations from the Victoria Fish & Game Club, and there's definitely something for everyone who loves the outdoors!
