Gear up for an adrenaline-packed weekend with your loved ones at the Garden Route Family Expo, happening at the breathtaking Bartelsfontein Farm in Mossel Bay from 26 to 28 April 2024. Celebrating its 6th year, this expo roars with adventure, catering to families and outdoor enthusiasts alike.
Rebranding
Experience the all-new Garden Route Family Expo (formerly known as the Garden Route 4×4 Expo), where it’s bigger and better than ever before! The journey began with a simple yet ambitious goal: to create an unparalleled opportunity for the entire family. From kiddies to adults, the expo offers a shopping experience that caters to everyone’s tastes and interests.
A Fusion of Experiences
Additionally, the expo is a delightful fusion of the adventurous outdoors, the elegance of wine, the warmth of home and décor, the creativity of arts and crafts, and the sheer joy of kiddies joining in on the adventure. It’s an event that celebrates the diversity of interests within families, offering something special for each member.
Evolution
The Expo’s roots trace back to the inception of the Outdoor Show. In 2021, the organisers proudly welcomed the UniQ Home Expo to their family, and since then, they’ve been expanding their horizons. Each year, they introduce a new addition to the line-up, enriching the experience and diversity the expo offers. Attendees are encouraged to mark their calendars and get ready to be inspired at the Garden Route Family Expo!
