They also thanked their partners for the many hours they spent preparing for the event and said, "The level of commitment and dedication to Toledo Jeep Fest – an award-winning festival drawing nationwide crowds of Jeep enthusiasts to the city of Toledo – HOME of the Jeep – is astonishing. And, rest assured: Toledo Jeep Fest will be back in 2021 to celebrate the 80th anniversary and the rich history shared by Toledo and Jeep."
