Northern Off-Road Expo 2026 in Brainerd, MN: See MotoAlliance and SXS Nation at the Show

The Northern Off-Road Expo 2026 is shaping up to be one of the must-attend events of the spring for ATV and UTV enthusiasts. Scheduled for April 10-11, 2026 at the Northern Pacific Center in Brainerd, Minnesota, the event is designed to bring together riders, aftermarket brands, manufacturers, vendors, and off-road fans for a full weekend of machines, gear, and community. Official event hours are listed as Friday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

According to the official event site, the Northern Off-Road Expo is promoted as Minnesota’s premier springtime powersports event and a kickoff to ATV and UTV riding season. The show promises access to the latest machines, aftermarket parts, innovations, entertainment, giveaways, and off-road culture all in one place.

For SXS Nation, this year’s show is even more exciting because of our partnership with MotoAlliance. We’ll be at the expo showcasing our Polaris Xpedition with MotoAlliance products installed, giving attendees a chance to see how these upgrades look on a real-world adventure machine built for both function and style.

MotoAlliance is a strong fit for this partnership. The company says it is based in the north metro area of Minneapolis, Minnesota and develops powersports accessories distributed across the U.S. and Canada. Their brand lineup is well known in the ATV and UTV world, with products focused on capability, utility, and trail-ready performance.

At the Northern Off-Road Expo, our goal is to help attendees get a closer look at what quality accessories can do for a machine like the Polaris Xpedition. Whether you are interested in gear for work, trail riding, recovery, hauling, or all-around machine upgrades, this partnership with MotoAlliance is all about showing practical products that riders can actually use.

We’ll also be using the event to promote our new SXS/UTV news and community app. This new platform is being built for enthusiasts who want a better way to stay connected to the off-road world through news, conversation, and community. If you stop by our booth, you’ll be able to learn more about what we’re building, what’s coming next, and how it will serve side-by-side and UTV owners.

The Northern Off-Road Expo is more than just a vendor show. It is a place for riders to connect with brands, explore new products, and get inspired for the riding season ahead. With Brainerd serving as the host city and the event positioned as a major spring gathering for the off-road community, it should be a great weekend for anyone who lives the ATV and UTV lifestyle.

If you’re planning to attend, make sure to find SXS Nation and check out our Polaris Xpedition featuring MotoAlliance products. We’d love to meet you, talk machines, and show you what we have in store with our new app and future coverage.

The Northern Off-Road Expo 2026 takes place April 10-11 in Brainerd, Minnesota at the Northern Pacific Center. For off-road enthusiasts across the Midwest, this is one event worth putting on the calendar.
