Franklin County Outdoor Expo Sponsorship & Vendor Opportunities

The Franklin County Outdoor Expo is a two-day regional event celebrating everything outdoors — from hunting, fishing, and archery to camping, motorsports, RVs, boats, homesteading, and outdoor lifestyle businesses. We bring together vendors, educators, outfitters, and organizations to connect directly with a highly engaged audience of outdoor enthusiasts from across Southwest Virginia.

We are looking for sponsors and vendors who want to showcase products, share expertise, build brand visibility, and be part of a growing community event focused on safe, responsible, and accessible outdoor recreation.
