why come to our festival

what makes peace love & vans unique

Peace Love & Vans is a massive community van gathering. Together, we’ll form a 1960’s inspired utopian van village for the weekend featuring hundreds of vans ranging from DIY builds to professionally converted vans and everything in between. 

The jam-packed schedule is filled with van tours, expert-led workshops, food trucks, a tropical-themed Tiki Bar, thousands of dollars in raffle prizes, live music, and an awesome community of like-minded, adventurous people!

There will also be dozens of vendors and exhibitors showing off vans, products for vans, creative crafts, and more! 

Come for the vans and inspiration and leave with new friends!

I haven’t had a feeling of fun and making new friends like this since summer camp when I was a kid. A summer camp for creative wanderlust and instant community. I really cannot wait to go back next year!!

Peace, Love & Vans was one of the most welcoming and well-organized van life gatherings I’ve ever attended. The atmosphere was a balance of laid-back community and genuinely useful learning. Everywhere you walked there were people sharing ideas, showing off their builds, and meeting new people.

If you own a camper van and would like to meet others who travel and camp in a van in a very relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere then Peace, Love and Vans is an event you should consider attending

This festival couldn't have come at a better time for me. Three weeks into my DIY build, I was feeling overwhelmed by the enormity of what I'd taken on. I toured so many DIY vans and met so many encouraging people who were generous with their time and their knowledge. I came away feeling inspired, and more importantly, feeling like I'm now part of a larger community.

I learned more about my van in 3 days than I learned the previous 3 years! So much knowledge and experience at the event.

This event is one of the highlights of our van life each year. Sure there are great destinations and parks to explore which we do. But where else can you hang out with a community of other van owners to enjoys engaging conversations, great music, and wonderful food. Just a very fun weekend together.
