Nikon will bring its creator-focused touring program to five additional markets this fall, extending the 2026 Nikon Tour to Dallas, Nashville, Baltimore/Washington D.C., Philadelphia, and Boston.

The second leg kicks off September 25 at the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden, led by Nikon Creator Danny Batista, and wraps in Boston November 6 through 8. The tour is free for all attendees.

The first half of the year drew more than 1,300 attendees across five stops. Programming spans photography and videography sessions, educational workshops, and hands-on time with Nikon’s camera and lens lineup. This year’s tour introduced three dedicated programming days: “Intro to Photography” for beginners, “NIKKOR Z Lens Day” for more experienced photographers, and “ZR Day” for cinema creators. At earlier stops, attendees on NIKKOR Z Lens Day tested as many as four or five lenses in a single session.

“The first half of the Nikon Tour was incredibly successful in bringing our community together and providing meaningful ways for creators of all levels to connect, learn and experience Nikon gear firsthand,” said Kristen Pritchett, Marketing Events & Experiential Manager at Nikon Inc. “We’re thrilled to get back on the road this fall to bring fresh inspiration to photographers and filmmakers while helping them to push their creative boundaries and build lasting relationships with their peers.”

Nikon is partnering with SanDisk for the fall leg. On ZR Days, attendees will shoot on Nikon cameras paired with SanDisk CFexpress memory cards, with content uploaded to the cloud for later access. SanDisk giveaways are planned for select beginner and NIKKOR Z Lens Day stops.

New instructors joining the fall phase include Nikon Ambassadors Brandon Woelfel and Mike Mezeul and Nikon Creator Rick Southers.
