AYLMER, ON – Vanfest 29 rolled into action June 4 – 7, 2026 at Springwater Conservation Area in Aylmer, Ontario, kicking off under the shadow of a less-than-promising weather forecast. But Mother Nature had other plans. The clouds parted, the sun appeared, and the weekend turned into perfect weather for Canada’s biggest van and truck show.
Once again, Geoff Mayes and his team transformed the park into a colorful celebration of custom vehicle culture. The grounds were packed with vintage vans showcasing breathtaking murals, creative paint schemes, and amazingly detailed interiors that reflected the personalities and passions of their owners. Every van seemed to tell its own unique story – both inside and out.
The truck scene was equally impressive. Owners arrived with everything from immaculate mini trucks sitting low to the ground to towering lifted trucks that demanded attention. The wide variety on display highlighted the incredible diversity and creativity that continues to drive the custom truck community.
Beyond the vehicles themselves, Vanfest remains a gathering of friends, families, and enthusiasts who share a passion for craftsmanship, creativity, and good times. The atmosphere throughout the weekend reflected everything that has made Vanfest a must-attend event for nearly three decades.
As the dust settles on another successful show, the Vanfest team is already looking ahead. Planning has begun for Vanfest 30 in 2027 – a milestone anniversary that promises to elevate the event to an entirely new level. If Vanfest 29 is any indication, the 30th anniversary celebration is shaping up to be something truly special.
