Want a glamour shot of you and your Jeep with the iconic JEEP letters?

United Way of Greater Toledo is partnering with Toledo Jeep Fest to make this happen. The Legendary Jeep Photoshoot will happen Saturday, August 5 and Sunday August 6. For a $35 donation you will get one timeslot for your iconic Jeep photograph. The donation helps support education, health, housing and finance initiatives in Lucas, Wood and Ottawa counties. Spots are limited so you must register at Jeep Sign Photoshoot Tickets.

The iconic JEEP symbol is located at the Stellantis Toledo Assembly Complex (Wranglers and Gladiators are assembled at this location). Access is limited as the JEEP symbol is located inside the factory gates of a very active manufacturing complex.

What is a Hype Bash?

It’s like practice for our big event on Aug. 4-6. Hype Bashes are fun Jeep events held at sponsors and vendors facilities. Sponsors like Williams Brothers Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram, Monroe Superstore, Charlie’s Dodge Jeep Ram, Toledo Speedway and Michigan Technical Resource Park, as well as the Toledo Walleye and Toledo Mud Hens.

All Hype Bashes include Jeeps, information on the upcoming event, Jeep Fest gear for sale, and giveaway and raffle items from our Jeep vendors. Hype Bashes at the dealerships also include RTI Ramp & Balance Blocks Opportunities sponsored by the Glass City Crawlers, vendors, DJs and food trucks. There are usually small RC courses and a few games for the kids and sometimes car crushing opportunities.

Hype Bashes are pre-fun before the big fun on August 4-6. Hype Bashes are a great way for the Jeep community to get together and plan their summer trail adventures and for anybody who loves Jeeps to get a preview of the awesome vehicles that will probably be in our All-Jeep Parade on August 5.

Toledo, Ohio (May 12, 2023) — Summer is just around the corner, and everyone is ready to travel.

To help spur tourism in Toledo, Toledo Jeep Fest partnered with TourismOhio, and joined more than 120 other attractions and destinations from across the state for the 2023 Ohio Tourism Day, held May 10 at the Ohio Statehouse in Columbus. Hundreds of people, looking to make summer plans, attended the event.

To kick off the day, Gov. Mike DeWine unveiled Ohio’s new brand: “Ohio, The Heart of it All.” The beloved theme with a modern twist captures the state’s Midwestern warmth and invites people to create a life they love here in Ohio. 

“Thanks to all of our tourism partners for taking part in this unique event that offers visitors a chance to discover new attractions and destinations that showcase all Ohio has to offer as a place of adventure, a place of promise, and the place for you,” said Lydia Mihalik, director of Ohio Department of Development.

 “Ohio Tourism Day is a great reminder that our state is the heart of it all, with something for everyone to enjoy,” said Whitney Rofkar, Toledo Jeep Fest Event and Development Director. “The day allowed us to have one-on-one conversations with potential visitors looking to visit not just Toledo Jeep Fest, but the restaurants, hotels, retailers, and other nearby attractions that call Toledo home.”

Every year, Ohio Tourism Day celebrates Ohio’s tourism industry and offers consumers the chance to explore vacation ideas across the state. Toledo Jeep Fest set up a display and talked to potential visitors eager to learn more about all the exciting things to do in the area.
