NZ's largest outdoor expo. South Island's only.
Busy lanes, big displays, the Mounted Games and a lot of happy families — a snapshot of the 2026 show.
“Came for the boats, left with a tent and a fishing rod we'd been talking about for two years.”
“Best place to compare gear without the sales pressure. Talked to the people who actually make the stuff.”
“The kids loved the demos. We loved the variety. Already planning next year.”
