Nikon has announced a significant expansion of its Nikon Tour for 2026, doubling the number of stops to ten U.S. cities and broadening the programming structure to address distinct creator segments. The tour is free to attend, runs through November, and opens May 15–17 in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The format this year introduces dedicated programming days rather than a single generalist agenda. “Intro to Photography” targets beginners; “Z Day” is aimed at working photographers; “NIKKOR Z Lens Day” focuses on advanced glass trials for experienced shooters; and a new video-focused day centers on the Nikon ZR, Nikon’s first cinema camera.
