Peace Love & Vans

Peace Love & Vans, now the largest and best vanlife festival in North America (and the first ever vanlife gathering to be held in the state of Florida) returns to Central Florida.  Presented by Vanlife Outfitters (the nation’s best online camper van parts and accessories store based in Sarasota, FL) and sponsored by Live Wildly (A Florida non-profit dedicated to the long-term protection of Florida’s lands and waters, starting with a permanently connected Florida Wildlife Corridor).… Peace Love & Vans is an opportunity for residents of Central Florida to learn more about vanlife, tour amazing vans, attend workshops and meet vanlifers in a fun and relaxed environment.

Peace Love & Vans will be held at Withlacoochee River Park in Dade City, FL on March 7 & 8th, 2026.   There will be over 500 camper vans as well as van builders, vendors, workshops, food trucks, live entertainment, product demos, and much more.

“From baby boomers, to remote workers, to outdoor adventurers, to those looking for more affordable housing alternatives…vanlife speaks to a lot of different people from all walks of life.  It’s something that brings a diverse group of people together through an interest in something that appeals to them for several different reasons.” says Josh Theberge co-founder of the event and an early vanlife pioneer. “If you’re curious about camper vans or tiny living, this will be the best opportunity to see and tour so many of them in one place” added Zach Daudert the event’s other co-founder.

Camping passes are sold out. Day passes are also available for those who just want to come out and check out some vans, attend workshops, enjoy live music and meet members of the vanlife community (including some notable YouTube and Instagram personalities).
