The Outside Adventure Expo has been scheduled for June 25-27 at the Utah State Fairpark. The event is cosponsored by the Utah Office of Outdoor Recreation, in partnership with Tread Lightly, Visit Salt Lake and Lodestone Events.
The event is expected to draw more than 200 exhibitors and 15,000 attendees for three days of gear vendors, outdoor demos, education and inspirational speakers and films. Event producers selected Utah to host Outside Adventure Expo because of the state’s vast natural assets that attract outdoor enthusiasts worldwide, according to a release from the Utah Governor’s Office of Economic Development.
Targeted to adventure travelers and the outdoor and active lifestyle community, the Outside Adventure Expo connects young, high-earning professionals with companies that help them gear up for their next adventure with quality outdoor gear and vehicle accessories, GOED said.
“Whether you’re looking to explore the high mountain peaks or the expansive deserts, Utah has it all,” said Pitt Grewe, director of the Utah Office of Outdoor Recreation. “For that reason, the Outside Adventure Expo is a perfect fit for Utah and we’re excited to have people meet in Salt Lake City to learn how to recreate responsibly.”
Lodestone Events, the event manager, is donating a portion of event proceeds to Tread Lightly, a Utah-based nonprofit. Tread Lightly and its partners lead a national initiative to protect and enhance recreation access and opportunities by promoting outdoor ethics to heighten individuals’ sense of good stewardship.
