Each March, the Calgary Outdoor Adventure & Travel Show brings together a world of travel, gear, and outdoor experiences under one roof at the BMO Centre. From local Alberta adventures to destinations across Canada, the USA, and as far as Africa and Nicaragua, this event is packed with inspiration for your next trip.

Walking the show floor with my Little Adventure Seeker, it quickly became clear that this is more than just a travel show. It’s a place where families, solo travellers, and outdoor enthusiasts can explore new ideas, connect with knowledgeable vendors, and discover experiences they may not have considered before.

From interactive booths and family-friendly activities to live presentations and travel showcases, there’s something here for every type of adventurer. Whether you’re planning a weekend getaway in Alberta, a road trip across North America, or dreaming about international travel, the Calgary Outdoor Adventure Show offers a unique opportunity to gather ideas all in one place.

Outdoor gear, camper setups, cycling, backcountry equipment, and local products were all part of the experience, alongside tourism boards and travel experts ready to share insights and tips. It’s an easy and engaging way to learn about destinations, ask questions, and start planning future adventures.

For families, the show offers a welcoming and interactive environment, making it a fun and educational outing for kids and adults alike. For travellers, it’s a chance to explore both close-to-home experiences and far-away destinations without leaving Calgary.

If you’re looking for things to do in Calgary in March, or searching for travel inspiration in Alberta, the Calgary Outdoor Adventure & Travel Show is worth adding to your list. It’s a great way to kick off the adventure season and start mapping out where you want to go next.
