The Vigo County Parks and Recreation Department, in collaboration with the Terre Haute Convention and Visitors Bureau, Cody Starkey, Mervin Javins (head coach of the Terre Haute North High School Bass Fishing Team), and Mike Auten (cofounder of Brandbutter Creative whose photography has been featured in many national publications), is proud to announce the inaugural West Central Indiana Outdoor Expo, set to take place April 18 and 19, 2026 at the Vigo County Fairgrounds.
The goal of the Expo is to showcase the outdoor recreation opportunities within the West Central Indiana region. The two-day event will highlight activities such as hunting, fishing, camping, rowing, kayaking, biking, birding, nature photography, gardening, trail systems, and more! The Expo will feature guest speakers, live demos, and a variety of vendors and organizations including, but not limited to: City, County, and State Parks, local nonprofit organizations, ATV, RV, and boat dealers, fishing tackle suppliers, outdoor outfitters, and food trucks. Attendees can also expect insider advice from professionals and special package deals and giveaways. “There’s something for everybody,” said Vigo County Parks Superintendent, Adam Grossman.
Vendor spaces are available for nonprofits, for-profits, and food trucks. Proceeds will be reinvested into future expos and efforts to promote West Central Indiana’s outdoor assets.
