For anyone who lives and breathes Jeep culture, 2025 is already shaping up to be a big year.
From coast to coast, some of the most anticipated gatherings for Jeep owners, off-roaders and enthusiasts are back with packed schedules and serious trail rides. There are thousands of like-minded folks ready to trade stories and test their rigs.
If you’re into technical terrain, beach driving, historical roots or just want to meet fellow drivers, there’s a weekend waiting for you.
We list some of the biggest Jeep events happening this year, where they take place, what to expect, and how each one brings something special to the Jeep scene.
Jeep Jamboree USA
March 12 – November 1, 2025 | Various Locations
Jeep Jamboree USA runs all year. It offers guided trail weekends across the U.S. If you’re looking to try new terrain and meet other Jeep drivers, this is one of the most flexible ways to do it.
The lineup covers dozens of states with events set up for every skill level. These are like weekend adventures led by experts who know the trails. You’ll find events across hills, deserts and forests, from the Ozarks to the Oregon coast.
One of the most famous Jamboree routes follows the Rubicon Trail in California. It’s a 22-mile path that dates back centuries and became legendary in off-roading circles. That trail alone helped inspire the Jeep Rubicon model.
No matter where you go, the only requirement is a Jeep with a 4-LO transfer case. Everything else (your driving level, your build, your gear) is up to you. If you’ve never joined a Jamboree, 2025 is a great year to get started.
Easter Jeep Safari
April 12 – April 20, 2025 | Moab, UT
Held annually in the striking landscape of Moab, Utah, the Easter Jeep Safari is one of the longest-running Jeep events in the U.S. It’s hosted by the Red Rock 4-Wheelers and is a nine-day gathering that draws drivers who want to explore red rock terrain and roll through desert gullies.
Moab’s trails range from scenic to seriously challenging. The event caters to both. There are 40 marked trails and each happens to be rated by difficulty. Jeep also uses this event to showcase its new concept vehicles. Attendees get a first look at upcoming design directions.
Off the trail, you’ll find a busy vendor show and Jeep product expo. It’s a full week of off-roading, wrench talk, plus sunsets over sandstone. The highlight is “Big Saturday.” It’s where the entire town comes alive with a massive Jeep parade that spills out across the region.
Jeep Beach
April 18 – April 27, 2025 | Daytona Beach, FL
Jeep Beach is a week-long celebration set on the sand in Daytona Beach. And when they say it’s big, they’re not kidding. Around 200,000 attendees show up each year, with Jeeps from more than two dozen countries. That’s thousands of vehicles and live music with beach-side events from morning to night.
The event kicks off with a Jeep Beach 5K and finishes with a Jeep-only parade that spans the coastline. In between, there’s a “Show N Shine” contest, obstacle runs, mud courses, a vendor expo at the Daytona International Speedway, etc.
If you’ve got a daily driver or a fully built crawler, there’s space for you here. Ticket sales also support charity. Millions have been raised since the event began.
Florida Jeep Jam
May 12 – May 17, 2025 | Panama City Beach, FL
There has been a long time battle between Jeep Beach and when FJJ used the name Jeep Beach Jam. Let’s just avoid this and only call it Florida Jeep Jam. This Panama City event brings top-down driving and ocean views together for six days of Jeep-friendly fun. It might not be as large as Jeep Beach in Daytona, but it holds its own with a loyal crowd. There’s a busy lineup and the same casual beach-town vibe.
Main attractions you’ll find are an obstacle course, trail excursions, and the “Topless for Turtles” beach drive on Friday. The following day, participants roll into “Go Topless Day.” It’s a coast-to-coast celebration of open-air Jeeps.
Like any good Jeep event, there’s live music and night parties with gear vendors spread out across the waterfront. If you’re looking for a smaller scene with plenty of sand, this one fits.
Bantam Jeep Heritage Festival
June 13 – June 15, 2025 | Butler, PA
Butler, Pennsylvania, is where the Jeep was born. Every year, the town throws a festival to celebrate that history.
The Bantam Jeep Heritage Festival honors the 1940 Bantam Reconnaissance Car: the model that started it all. This three-day gathering brings thousands of Jeeps into one place.
You’ll find a mix of trail rides, obstacle zones, rock crawling, mud pits, and more. But the star of the weekend is the massive Jeep parade. This is a record-setting convoy that winds through downtown Butler and brings spectators out in droves.
It’s part off-road event, part history lesson and part hometown fair. Families love the kid-friendly activities, and gearheads respect the focus on old-school models and military roots.
Toledo Jeep Fest
August 1 – August 3, 2025 | Toledo, OH
Toledo is the factory hometown of Jeep. For more than 80 years, Jeep vehicles have been built here. The community celebrates that legacy with a huge August festival.
Jeep owners from across the Midwest and outside drive in for a packed weekend of rides, displays and community events.
Expect a downtown Jeep parade, plus a long vendor midway with a wide range of contests. The crowd spreads across obstacle courses, live concerts, food trucks, etc. There’s also a dedicated family zone so everyone has something to enjoy.
If you’re interested in where your Jeep came from, this is the place to connect with that legacy and take part in a full-city celebration.
Ocean City Jeep Fest
August 21 – August 24, 2025 | Ocean City, MD
This is a late-summer event that takes over the beaches of Maryland for four days of sun and sand-based trail action. Mornings start with the Beach Crawl. Here, Jeeps cruise the shoreline at sunrise. The rest of the day has trail runs and the KICKER Sand Course (a purpose-built playground for Jeep tires only).
The Ocean City Convention Center hosts vendors, parts dealers, custom shops, while the evenings move the action to beach bonfires and an LED light show called TRAIL SEVEN.
It’s one of the most scenic Jeep events on the calendar and mixes East Coast beach driving with many chances to hang out and get to know other owners.
Other Events to Watch For in 2025
There’s still more to add to your list. The 4-Wheel Jamboree Nationals return in July to Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania and again in September to Indianapolis.
These shows feature monster trucks, classic rigs, custom builds, and action-packed off-road demonstrations.
Not Jeep-specific, but still a big draw for any 4×4 enthusiast who wants to join a loud and adrenaline-filled weekend.
