The busiest stretch of the tiny house event calendar is behind us — TinyFest California, the Carolina Tiny House Festival, and the Fresno Tiny House Expo have all wrapped for the year. But there is still a solid run of shows, expos, and hands-on camps between now and the end of 2026, plus three events already locked in for 2027.
Here is everything still on the calendar, in date order, with what we know about each and a direct link to the organiser.

What’s Left in 2026
August 28–30 — Brisbane Tiny Home Expo
Cleveland Showgrounds, Queensland, Australia. Over 25 finished builds on display plus two separate speaker halls — the main tiny home talks pavilion and a My Self Reliance preparedness stream that only appears at Brisbane and Sydney. Tickets are staggered by arrival time, from $20 to $35.

September 4–6 — Off-Grid Workshop Camp
Beloved Cabin Homestead, Eatonton, Georgia. A three-day, tightly capped hands-on camp covering solar, rainwater collection, biogas and off-grid sewage, shed-to-home conversion, humanure composting, and composting toilets. $299 per person, $549 per couple. Private tiny home owners who bring their structure and open it for tours attend free.

September 18–20 — Coffs Harbour Tiny Home Expo
Coffs Harbour Showgrounds, New South Wales, Australia. Same format and pricing as the rest of the Australian circuit.
October 2–4 — Off-Grid Workshop Camp
Eatonton, Georgia. The second of three remaining Georgia sessions, identical program.
October 30 – November 1 — Tiny House Expo, Hamilton
Mystery Creek Events Centre, Hamilton, New Zealand. Billed as New Zealand’s largest tiny house village, held indoors, with ten seminars on costs, council consent, transport logistics, and future-proofing your design. Also hosts the New Zealand Tiny House Awards.

October 30 – November 1 — Bendigo Tiny Home Expo
Bendigo Showgrounds, Victoria, Australia. Runs the same weekend as Hamilton, so Southern Hemisphere travellers will need to pick one.
November 21–22 — Florida
This one comes with a caveat. Two Florida events are currently pointing at the same weekend: the Go Liv Tiny Jamboree, listed with a venue still to be announced and a website showing only a “coming soon” placeholder, and the Florida Tiny House Festival, which the United Tiny House Association has listed for the same dates.
The 2025 edition of the Florida Tiny House Festival — its tenth annual — ran at Dunns Creek State Park in Pomona Park with $20 weekend admission for ages 13 and up, $5 for ages 8–12, and free entry for children 7 and under. Whether the 2026 event lands at the same park, and how the two listings relate to each other, has not been announced. Worth watching if you are in the Southeast, but do not book flights yet.
November 27–29 — Perth Tiny Home Expo
Dowling St Reserve, Rockingham, Western Australia. The final stop on the Australian circuit for the year.
December 4–6 — Off-Grid Workshop Camp
Eatonton, Georgia. The last Georgia camp of 2026, and arguably the most comfortable one — early December in Middle Georgia is cool, dry, and bug-free.
Already on the 2027 Calendar
February 19–21 — Tiny House Expo, Christchurch
Lincoln Events Centre, Christchurch, New Zealand. The South Island edition of the Hamilton show. Tickets are not released yet, but you can register your interest now.
February 2027 — Hobart Tiny Home Expo
Tasmania, Australia. Dates and venue still to be confirmed. The organisers have also moved Adelaide to an occasional schedule, citing a shortage of South Australian builders to fill a show.
June 25–27 — New Housing Tiny House Festival
Rheinstetten, Germany. The largest tiny house event on the European calendar, and a good excuse to see how a market with very different building codes solves the same problems.
A Note on the North American Calendar
If you are in the United States or Canada, the honest read is that the remainder of 2026 is thin. Beyond the Georgia camps and the unresolved Florida weekend, the major North American shows have either already run this year or have not published their next dates.
The organizers worth bookmarking for 2027 announcements:
- TinyFest — runs California and regional editions
- United Tiny House Association — the Florida and Georgia events
- Great American Tiny House Show — has toured Virginia, Florida, and Washington
- Tiny Home Show — Ontario, Canada
- Fresno Shows — the California Tiny House Expo
Most announce dates three to six months out, so the early-2027 schedule should start firming up around October.
Hands-On Classes That Run Year-Round
If the festival calendar in your region is empty, the workshop route is not. These programs run their own schedules independently of the festival circuit, and several take notification signups between sessions:
- Backcountry Tiny Homes — two-day building classes in Hampstead, New Hampshire, covering framing, electrical, plumbing, insulation, HVAC, and waterproofing
- Tiny Home Builders — Dan Louche’s two-day intensives in Atlanta and Asheville
- Wild Abundance — tiny house, carpentry, and timber framing classes near Asheville, North Carolina
- Catskills Tiny House Workshop — design, build, and live-tiny sessions in Livingston Manor, New York
Festival or Workshop? Pick the Right One
The two formats solve genuinely different problems, and people regularly buy tickets to the wrong one.
Go to a festival or expo if you are comparing builders, want to physically stand inside twenty different layouts in an afternoon, or need to find out whether a 7’6″ loft is tolerable for someone your height. It is a browsing and shortlisting exercise.
Go to a workshop or camp if you have already decided and now need to understand a system well enough to specify, install, or maintain it. You will see far fewer homes and learn far more per hour.
If you are early in the process, the festival first is usually the right order — you cannot sensibly choose a composting toilet before you have decided whether you are building at all.
Keeping Track
Event dates in this industry move more than you would expect — venues fall through, and organisers postpone. Two habits help:
- Check the organiser’s FAQ page the night before you travel. The Australian circuit posts adverse weather updates there, and it is where postponements surface first.
- Buy online rather than at the gate if you are travelling any distance. Several of these shows close gate sales once they hit capacity, and online buyers are the ones who get notified about changes.
A useful cross-check on any of the above: Tiny Living’s festival list, which tracks past and upcoming events worldwide.
