Nationwide Expos Announces Ski and Outdoor Expo at Douglas County Fairgrounds 2026

Nationwide Expos has scheduled a three-day Ski & Outdoor Expo at the Douglas County Fairgrounds in Castle Rock from Sept. 4-6, 2026, a regional stop in a four-venue Colorado tour designed to link outdoor consumers with local outfitters and businesses. The organizer says the series will offer hands-on demonstrations, expert advice, and show-only deals timed ahead of Colorado’s winter season.

The Castle Rock stop will be held at the Douglas County Fairgrounds, 500 Fairgrounds Rd, Castle Rock, CO 80104. Event hours for the Castle Rock expo are listed as Friday 12:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., Saturday 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and Sunday 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Interested exhibitors may contact Nationwide Expos at 800-201-HOME for registration details. Organizers list the event as part of a four-stop Colorado schedule that includes Longmont (Boulder County Fairgrounds, Sept. 11-13), Colorado Springs (Colorado Springs Event Center, Sept. 25-27), and Loveland (The Ranch Events Complex, Oct. 16-18).

Nationwide Expos’ announcement, distributed via EIN Presswire and XPR Media, frames the shows as a seasonal ramp-up: “Nationwide Expos is excited to announce the launch of its 2026 Ski & Outdoor Expo series in Colorado, bringing outdoor adventure enthusiasts, ski lovers, and gear-seekers together just ahead of the season.” Sol Lee, director of marketing & operations at Nationwide Expos, said in the EIN Presswire-distributed release, “We’re thrilled to bring the Ski & Outdoor Expo series to Colorado,” and added, “These events are designed to gear up Colorado’s ski and outdoor enthusiasts just ahead of the season while connecting local experts and businesses with the community.”

The announcement emphasizes retail and community benefits: “Each event offers show-only deals, giveaways, and exclusive offers, giving attendees the chance to score great savings on gear and outdoor experiences.” Event copy for the Castle Rock listing highlights activities ranging from alpine skiing and snowboarding to backcountry camping, hiking, and paddle sports, and promises demonstrations and expert advice.

Key logistical details remain unreported in the distributed materials. The press release and Eventbrite listing do not include ticket prices, an exhibitor roster, or safety and accessibility policies. Castle Rock residents and Douglas County officials will likely want clarity on expected attendance, traffic and parking plans, and vendor selection — matters that affect local businesses, volunteer staffing, and county services. For now, prospective attendees and exhibitors are directed to contact Nationwide Expos by phone at 800-201-HOME or to consult the promoter’s official website for updates.

A related social media post from @nationwideexpos referenced a separate Home Show at the Douglas County Fairgrounds on April 11-13 and stated, “Free admission! Don't miss it!” That item appears distinct from the Ski & Outdoor Expo announcement and does not specify a year in the captured post.

For Douglas County residents, the September expo promises a concentrated marketplace for seasonal gear and an opportunity for local outdoor businesses to reach customers; county leaders and event planners should press the organizer for traffic, safety, and vendor details as preparations continue.
