Tucson EKKO Rally 2024
Friday, November 1 – Tuesday, November 5, 2024
Catalina State Park, Tucson, AZ
The Rally
TER 2024 was a five-day gathering of Winnebago Ekko owners at Catalina State Park — the third consecutive year at this beloved venue. With 95 Ekkos and 19 vendors in attendance, the event was the community’s biggest yet before TER 2025 topped it. As a thank-you to the park that hosts us every year, the rally donated $4,000 to the Friends of Catalina State Park.
Schedule Highlights
Each day opened with guided hiking and biking options across the park’s trails. Saturday featured guided mod tours where attendees could walk through fellow owners’ rigs, followed by a Music in the Mountains concert and a Beer & Brats gathering with a prize drawing. Sunday’s Chili & Cornbread Potluck was a crowd favorite. Monday wrapped up with a stargazing session led by Ranger Isaiah Ortiz, and a farewell dinner.
