Dirt Expo, a weekend of off-road racing events, will hit Lake Havasu along the Colorado River this February.

Presented by Rugged Radios and Anderson Powersports, Dirt Expo will take place Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 24-25, at Windsor State Park, 699 London Bridge Road Avenue.

“Lake Havasu has become a mecca for off-road enthusiasts from Arizona, Nevada, Utah and Southern California,” Andy Myers, event owner, shared in a press release. “Beautiful Lake Havasu and the rugged Sonoran Desert make Havasu a perfect location for an off-road destination. All routes lead to Havasu: from the Peace Trail which enters from Northern and Southern Arizona, to the back roads of Las Vegas to various off-road routes from Phoenix and Prescott.”

During the two-day event, more than 50 industry vendors will showcase their goods and services.

“Registration for the Dirt Alliance Show-N-Shine portion of the expo is free,” Myers stated. “Make sure your vehicle is registered online at the THEDIRTEXPO.com.”

Participants should have their vehicle looking good and on site by 8:30 a.m. on Sunday, Feb. 25. Vehicles will be judged and awards will be given out to the Best UTV, Truck, Overland and Prerunner.

In addition, there will be ride-outs on Thursday and Friday before the Dirt Expo begins on Saturday; there may be a Saturday ride after the close of the Expo.

Admission starts at $10. Kids under 12 are free. Active service members are free with ID.
