2027 tour dates to be announced!

Earlier this year, live on stage we heard tales from 14 adventure speakers and screened a curation of 14 films from our international film competition. Across the country, representatives from 26 local community initiatives shared their work to take care of outdoor spaces and make activities more accessible, inclusive, and fun.

Over 62 Tour dates, we were joined by 7,000+ adventure seekers, with 100+ outdoor enthusiasts at our 2 community events. Thank you to everyone who got involved.
