The Showdown takes over the Lamar Dixon Expo Center in Gonzales — an easy drive from anywhere in South Louisiana, right off the interstate.
On-site parking is available at the Lamar Dixon Expo Center. Camping and RV guests use a separate check-in lane — follow event signage and staff direction when you arrive. Arrive a little early on Saturday; it's the bigger day.
Hotels cluster just off I-10 Exit 177 near the Tanger Outlets, about 10 minutes away — or camp on-site by the lakes all weekend.
October 9–10, 2026. Lock in your wristbands and make the weekend of it.
