2022 Sydney 4x4 Show – 1 week to go

The countdown is on to the National 4x4 Outdoors Show in Sydney. After two decades of National 4x4 shows bringing the latest and greatest gear in 4x4ing and outdoor adventuring to Brisbane and Melbourne, it’s now Sydney’s turn, with the Harbour City to host Australia’s premier outdoors lifestyle event from Friday, 22 July to Sunday, 24 July.

To be held at the Sydney Showgrounds, the National 4x4 Outdoors Show Sydney brings together all the top products from the four-wheel driving, camping and caravanning industries, as well as related accessories, gear and apparel for outdoor adventure, and tourism and travel services. 

The event will feature a host of live entertainment and activities, too, including informative presentations, 4x4 demonstrations and reptile shows. There will also be countless interactive displays, competitions and a huge range of food and beverage options.

“We are excited to finally deliver Australia’s biggest outdoors show to Sydney, connecting locals to some of the most celebrated and prestigious outdoors brands and information,” said Event Director, Jon Perry.
“Over the past 12 months, we have witnessed a massive surge in people prioritising holidaying locally and exploring the great Australian Outdoors.

“With a number of new initiatives being introduced at the Sydney 4x4 Show, the debut event will not only give outdoor enthusiasts ‘all the know’ they need before they head off on their next outdoor adventure, but will reinforce the event’s reputation as a ‘must attend’ on the national events calendar.
“In addition to the wide range of tips, advice and insider hacks, there will be thousands of the latest products on display, with the usual complement of show-only specials and bargains.”

In addition to displays and new products from leading 4x4, caravanning and camping brands, the National 4x4 Outdoors Show Sydney will feature a lot of the attractions made popular at Melbourne and Brisbane shows, including the much-loved Outback Stage, which will play host to some of the finest and funniest off-roading personalities in Australia.
