One of the Sunshine Coast’s largest caravan, camping and outdoor events will feature more than 90 exhibitors showcasing an enormous range of caravans, camper trailers, motorhomes, campervans and accessories.

Cr Law said this was one of more than 35 annual events the Nambour Showgrounds played host to, including festivals, trade shows, car clubs, sporting events and major events like the Sunshine Coast Agricultural Show, the Queensland Garden Expo, the Antique Car Club Swap Meet and the Nambour Expo.
“These events attract around 200,000 visitors to our region each year, benefiting our local businesses and our local economy greatly,” he said.
Caravan Trade and Industries Association of Queensland CEO Jason Plant said that whether you were a seasoned caravan enthusiast, a newcomer looking for new adventures, or simply wanting to entertain the kids outdoors, this event was not to be missed.
