Nelson, something new is coming.

After four successful years building the New Zealand Fishing, Hunting & 4X4 Expo in Rotorua, we are bringing the experience to the top of the South Island. The first Nelson edition of the Expo will take place from 16 to 18 October 2026, marking an exciting new chapter as the event continues to grow across New Zealand.

Developed from the strong foundation established in Rotorua, the Nelson Expo will deliver the same high energy atmosphere with new activations, local flavour, and plenty of action for outdoor enthusiasts. From fishing and hunting through to 4x4 displays, live demonstrations, competitions, Show n Shine, and the debut of the Nelson BIG FOUR, it promises an unforgettable weekend celebrating the outdoors lifestyle.

With a wide range of exhibitors, hands on gear, workahops, and activities for the whole family, including the kids, Nelson is set to become a must attend event this October!
