LRON Off Road and 4×4 Festival 2026 (Land Rover Festival)
We have proudly hosted two very successful Land Rover Festivals in Uis. One in 2016 and one in 2018.
A third was planned in 2020 in Henties Bay, but unfortunately had to be cancelled due to the pandemic. After a lengthy pause we are thrilled to announce the return of this land mark event.
This event marks a new chapter – for the first time, the festival will welcome all makes of vehicles, not just Land Rovers.
This inclusive approach is as a result of our growing community of “Landy Friends” a special charter within LRON representing non-Land Rover vehicles. We also have a growing number of members owning other makes of 4×4’s due the fact that Defender as we know it is becoming scarce.
A reconnaissance of the venue has been done and preparations are well underway.
Planned festival themes could include but are not limited to:
Off Road Challenge (time trails, rescue and recovery)
Show and Shine Parade (showcase classic or rare, modified and overland prepped vehicles)
Overland Village and Campsite
Campfire Chatter (best story)
DIY Off Road Repairs
Recovery procedures
Navigation and Expedition Planning (PPS vs maps, route planning, packing for trips)
Memorabilia Station
Name that Noise
Photo Safari
Trivia Pub Night (quiz questions)
4×4 Gear and Life Style Market
Festival Merchandise Tent
Eco-conscious Travel Talks
Charity Convoy
