The first Toledo Jeep Fest was held in 2016 to celebrate the 75th year anniversary of the Toledo-built Jeep. More than 1,000 Jeep vehicles participated in the Toledo Jeep Fest’s inaugural parade and 40,000 people attended the single-day event.
Toledo Jeep Fest returned to downtown Toledo in August 2018 as a three-day event. The event attracted more than 60,000 people, including Jeep enthusiasts from 27 states, Canada, and Mexico, and pumped $4.5 million into the local economy.
The celebration of Jeep pride returns to the streets of downtown Toledo on the weekend of Aug. 9-11 and will showcase the introduction of the new Jeep Gladiator pickup, which is the latest in a long line of Jeeps made in the Glass City.
