Outdoor enthusiasts will gather in St. Charles from November 14–16, 2025 for the annual Gateway Outdoor Expo & Summit at the St. Charles Convention Center. This three-day event is the Midwest’s premier showcase for outdoor gear, adventure travel, fitness, and active living.
Visitors can browse exhibits from top outdoor brands, attend workshops, and hear from keynote speakers who inspire adventure in the great outdoors. Whether your passion is hiking, cycling, camping, paddling, or fitness, the Expo offers expert advice, hands-on demonstrations, and the latest equipment to fuel your next journey.
The Summit component adds depth with seminars focused on sustainability, wellness, and new trends in outdoor recreation. It’s a chance to learn from industry leaders while connecting with a community that shares your passion for nature and adventure.
The atmosphere is lively and engaging, with activities for families, opportunities to test gear, and local organizations on hand to promote parks, trails, and conservation efforts. It’s more than an expo — it’s an experience that celebrates the outdoor lifestyle and the people who live it.
