Hey everyone. This goes without saying, but it needs to be said: 2020 changed everything. All of these events happening after mid-March are canceled or postponed. Every event around the entire globe.
I never imagined this was a possibility. I had no clue this was even an option. I never saw the movie Contagion… But now we know.
We will gather again in the future. We don’t know when or how or what it will look like, but it will happen. We will keep going. In the meantime, if you want to reach out about anything at all, please send me an email at lisa@vacayvans.com. Wishing you the best during this uncertain time.
Nothing in life is guaranteed and every moment we have together is a gift.
Love, Lisa
Your complete guide to all the vanlife events, meetups, tiny house festivals, and related gatherings, workshops, and social events!
Pin this graphic to save for later! This is a working list and will be updated all throughout the year with more tiny house festivals and vanlife events.
This is a complete list of all the tiny house expos, vanlife events, tiny house festivals, and everything else related to living large in a small space. Every vanlife event on the internet will be added right here. If you are part of the tiny house movement, van life, or just trying to get your tiny house expo going, feel free to send your tiny house/ van life event my way.
Having a complete list of vanlife events is AWESOME because you can see all of the options all around the world for all things related to tiny house living. But please keep in mind that not all events are created equal. Some are camping festivals with music, potlucks, and van tours. Others are consumer sale shows with shiny new RVs and deep-fried butter stands.
Some tiny house expo events are more focused on builders. Some van life events offer custom van ideas and camper vans for sale. There are tiny house festivals just for boomers. You’ll find some soirees that are for single, solo travelers. A few are women-only vanlife events. You might find some are just big parties with a general tiny house festival theme while others focus more on outdoor activities like hiking and camping.
I’ve provided some information about the events where available, but please make sure you click the links and check out the events before showing up!
