Public event on RME

Skooliepalooza 2027

About this event

The big skoolie "ungathering": a free, non-commercial meetup of converted school buses and every other kind of rig in the Arizona desert each January. It runs on three rules: Be Nice, Leave No Trace, and Pay It Forward.

No admission and no registration. Community donations cover water, porta-potties and trash.

The 2027 dates and site haven't been announced. The dates here repeat the 2026 edition (January 16–26), and the pin is Ehrenberg, where several past editions were held (the 2026 one was near Yuma). Skooliepalooza posts GPS coordinates in its newsletter shortly before each edition. We'll update this listing when they announce.

Check the latest details with the organizer in RME. The website does not show member lists, chats or exact map pins or route stops.
