4X4 and outdoor enthusiasts, get ready – the National 4X4 Outdoors Show is still rolling into Brisbane from March 14-16, 2025, at the Brisbane Showgrounds! Despite concerns surrounding Ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred, organisers have confirmed the show will go ahead as planned, giving Brisbanites a much-needed opportunity to get out of the house, explore the latest off-road gear, and join in on a weekend of adventure.
A Chance to Regroup After the Storm
While Cyclone Alfred thankfully passed through with less severity than first predicted, many in Queensland are still dealing with its aftermath. The Brisbane 4X4 Show organisers have stepped up, announcing that 10% of all ticket sales will be donated to Queensland relief efforts to help in the recovery process. It’s a chance for the community to come together, support those affected, and enjoy a fantastic event dedicated to the great outdoors.
What’s Changed?
The only major change to the show is that the Mount Maxxis component will no longer be running. Everything else – from the Outback Stage and Adventure Zone to the latest 4X4 gear, exclusive show deals, and live demos – remains full steam ahead.
