West Coast Van Fest 2026 is a multi-day van life and overland festival hosted at the Coombs Fairgrounds on Vancouver Island. Bringing together a large collection of custom vans, overland rigs, and outdoor lifestyle enthusiasts, the event creates an immersive environment built around community, travel, and adventure. The festival runs from June 11–14, with camping available for the full weekend and public access during peak hours. Attendees can expect a full lineup of vendors, live bands, DJs, food trucks, and a beer garden, all set within a large outdoor venue designed to showcase builds and connect like-minded people. Open to both experienced van lifers and newcomers, the event offers a chance to explore unique rigs, meet builders, and experience the culture firsthand. With expanded camping capacity and growing attendance, West Coast Van Fest continues to establish itself as one of Canada’s premier van life and overland gatherings.
