Toledo Jeep Fest Gets New Addition: Paws Playzone!

May 12, 2025

Calling all Jeep lovers and dog lovers: Toledo Jeep Fest is back this August, and it’s bringing something extra adorable along for the ride!


From August 1–3, Jeep fans will gather once again in downtown Toledo to celebrate everything Jeep: the vehicles, the community, the spirit of adventure. But this year, there’s a new addition we’re really excited about—introducing the Paws Playzone, a brand-new area just for our four-legged friends!


The Paws Playzone is the perfect place for pups to play, explore, and maybe even pick up a new trick or two. Sponsored by Rudolph Libbe Group and the Associated General Contractors of Northwest Ohio (AGCNWO), this space is designed to celebrate our most loyal co-pilots. Our new partner, Dale Carnegie, will also be a vendor in the playzone.

Expect a tail-wagging good time with:

  • Agility courses by Zoom Room Toledo
  • Custom Jeep-themed dog houses built by the talented students at Penta Career Center
  • Water stations to keep furry friends hydrated

Lucas County Canine Care & Control (LC4) will be onsite with adoptable dogs looking for loving homes. So, if you’ve been thinking about adding a new pup to your crew, this might just be your moment.


“Many Jeep enthusiasts are known for bringing their dogs along on every adventure — whether it’s hitting the trails or cruising to a festival like Toledo Jeep Fest. In the new Paws Playzone, we can show how agility training is a fantastic way to build your dog’s confidence and improve their fitness,” said Amanda Bebeau, Zoom Room Toledo.


All dogs are welcome to participate in the agility course. You’ll just have to sign a liability waiver first.


The Paws Playzone isn’t just fun and games, it’s also a celebration of the community spirit that makes TJF so special. “We’re proud to help shape the future of downtown Toledo,” says Sarah Helbig, Marketing Director at Rudolph Libbe Group. “Whether it’s building facilities like LC4 or sponsoring Paws Playzone, it’s about giving back to the place we call home.”


Of course, TJF 2025 has even more in store.  Check out the brand-new WaughStrong Competition, a strongman competition supporting mental health services for veterans and first responders. Plus, the All-Jeep Parade, the Vendor Midway, Indoor and Outdoor Jeep exhibits, a 4-Mile Run, and plenty of live entertainment, food trucks, and family fun zones.


Whether you’ve got a Jeep, a dog, or just a love of community events, TJF has something for everyone. Come for the Jeeps, stay for the pups—and be part of the adventure in the city where it all began: Toledo.
