For RVers, Christmas on the road is a unique experience. While there are no Convergences planned for this festive holiday, you can bet that Xscapers will be out there celebrating in their own special way. Some will explore new towns, taking in neighbor hood light displays, visiting pop-up Christmas bars, enjoying festive hayrides and partaking in various holiday-themed activities. Others may gather on remote BLM land, erecting Christmas trees in the middle of the desert to create their own holiday magic. Christmas on the road is more than just a journey; it’s a celebration of togetherness, adventure and the boundless possibilities of life on the open road. Whether in urban neighborhoods or the tranquil desert, there’s a unique Christmas experience waiting for every RVer, and the Xscapers community is there to make it unforgettable. As Christmas gives way to the New Year, nobody rings it in quite like Xscapers! Every year, as a token of appre ciation to our incredible members, Xscapers hosts a free meet-up in the Quartzsite desert with one mission: to usher in the New Year. This year is no exception, and those fortunate enough to attend can expect live music, roaring bon fi res and a dance party under the desert night sky. Don’t forget to sign up for this free event to welcome 2024 in true Xscapers style! With the conclusion of New Year’s Eve comes the highly anticipated Xscapers Annual Bash, where things are bound to get a little weird! This is the grandest Xscapers event of the year, packed with educational seminars, community talks, live music and thrilling entertainment.

Returning favorites include the members’ marketplace, the Mac & Cheese Madness competition, Xscapers Olympics and Neon Night. Excitingly, this year introduces some quirky theme nights like “Come As You Were In High School,” “Tacky Tuesday” and “Wig-Out Wednes day.” Even the most beloved activity at any Xscapers event gets a bizarre twist this year: the Zombie Lot Crawl! This Bash offers something for everyone, including kids who can enjoy a variety of fun camp activities. The Xscapers Annual Bash 2024 is set to be an epic party, and you don’t want to miss out. For more details, and to secure your tickets for this offbeat event, visit the Bash website at www.bash.xscapers.com. In the world of Xscapers, the journey never truly ends; it’s a perpetual adventure fi lled with vibrant communi ties, exciting gatherings and the boundless possibilities of life on the road. As we bid farewell to the events of the past, we eagerly anticipate the adventures that lie ahead in the coming months. From the Halloween thrills in Las Vegas, to the Friendsgiving warmth in the desert, and from the unforgettable New Year’s celebrations, to the wonderfully weird Annual Bash, Xscapers continue to rede fi ne what it means to live life to the fullest while exploring the open road. We invite you to pack your curiosity, your sense of adventure and your love for community, and join the Xscapers on their journey, a journey that is, quite simply, the road less ordinary.

Safe travels, and may we see you down the road!
