About the Melbourne Leisurefest
The Melbourne Caravan & Camping Leisurefest is one of several regional-scale shows organised by Caravan Industry Victoria (CIV). Held at Sandown Racecourse in Springvale, it serves Melbourne’s eastern and south-eastern suburbs and runs for four days each October.
The Leisurefest sits a step below the Victorian Caravan, Camping & Touring Supershow in scale, but that is part of its appeal. It is a more relaxed, walkable event with a strong focus on getting visitors into caravans and camping setups without the overwhelming size of the Victorian Supershow at the Melbourne Showgrounds.
The event caters to a broad audience. First-time campers, families planning road trips, retirees mapping out their lap, and seasoned tourers looking to upgrade all find something relevant here. There is a practical, community feel to the Leisurefest that the larger shows sometimes lose.
What to See at the Melbourne Leisurefest 2026
The display floor covers caravans, camper trailers, motorhomes, camping gear, and outdoor accessories. Expect a solid cross-section of manufacturers alongside accessory suppliers and holiday destination exhibitors.
The Adventure Zone features a 4×4 track for those interested in off-road capability. The “Let’s Start Caravan & Camping” hub is specifically set up for beginners, covering the basics of what to buy, how towing works, and what to expect on your first trip. If you are new to all this, start there.
The Leisurefest is pet-friendly, with dogs welcome at the venue. It also has a dedicated event app that can help you plan your visit and locate exhibitors.
Family entertainment runs throughout the four days, keeping things comfortable for visitors of all ages.
Visit Titanium Caravans at the Melbourne Leisurefest
Titanium Caravans is based right here in Melbourne, and the Leisurefest is a home-ground show for the team. It is a relaxed setting to walk through models from the 2026 range, ask questions, and get a feel for the build quality that comes from an Australian made and owned manufacturer with more than 3,000 caravans built since 2012.
We will update this page with our stand number and the models on display closer to the event.
If you want to see the full range before the show, you can also visit the Titanium Caravans Melbourne Flagship Experience Centre at 595 Edgars Road, Epping, about 30 minutes north of the Showgrounds.

- Visit on Thursday or Friday if you can. Weekends draw larger crowds, and the quieter weekday sessions give you more time to sit inside vans and talk with exhibitors without waiting.
- Bring your dog if you like. The Leisurefest is pet-friendly, which is unusual for caravan shows.
- Download the event app before you arrive. It maps the exhibitor layout and helps you plan which stands to prioritise.
- If you are new to caravanning, head to the “Let’s Start” hub first. It will give you a framework for the rest of your visit and save you from feeling overwhelmed by the choices on display.
