There are a lot of Toledo Jeep® Fest activities that you can participate in on the weekend of August 2-4. Most of these activities are totally free like the Vendor Midway, Glass City Convention Center Jeep® Exhibit and watching the amazing All-Jeep® Parade.
However, you might want to participate in one of our Jeep® events like the All-Jeep® Parade, Park-N-Shine or Glass City Convention Center Exhibit. These events require registration. Here’s a description of the All-Jeep® Parade.
All-Jeep® Parade
Saturday, August 3, 10 a.m. – $55
Participants in the All-Jeep® Parade will stage downtown during the morning, drive in the parade, and be parked in the 20-block downtown footprint (TJF staff direct parking from 10:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m.). Once parade Jeeps are parked (in free, centrally located spaces), participants can experience the Vendor Midway, live music, food trucks and much more.
- You need only buy one ticket per Jeep® (not per person). You may have as many people or animals as will safely fit in your Jeep®.
- If you purchase an All-Jeep® Parade ticket you cannot take part in the Park-N-Shine or Glass City Convention Center Exhibit. Jeeps cannot participate in multiple activities, and therefore drivers must pick only one of these three popular options.
- Each All-Jeep® Parade ticket comes with a swag bag and an exclusive participant T-shirt.
