Celebrate the Annual Toledo Jeep® Fest
August 1 – 3, 2025
The Toledo Jeep® Fest, held annually in early August, honors the decades-long partnership between Jeep® and the City of Toledo. For generations, Jeep® has made a meaningful impact on the lives of Toledoans, Americans, and people around the globe. In Toledo, the bloodline runs deep. Jeep® vehicles have been built right here in the 419 by the hands of proud Toledoans since 1941. Each and every Jeep® Wrangler and Gladiator manufactured was born right here in the Glass City.
Come celebrate all things Jeep® in a unique, urban environment. Join a high-octane parade, visit exceptional vendors, buy sweet gear, experience uncommon vehicle history.
In 2024, Toledo Jeep® Fest welcomed more than 78,000 visitors from 40 states, along with international guests from Canada, Italy, Japan, Mexico, and Switzerland. The event generated over $5.9 million in economic activity throughout Northwest Ohio, highlighting its significant contribution to the region’s economy and community spirit.

Toledo Jeep® Fest History
Jeep® is fundamental to Toledo’s heritage. Toledo Jeep history begins in 1941 when Bantam won a significant United States Military contract to design a four-wheel drive utility vehicle that was manufactured throughout World War II. Dana is credited as a co-inventor of the Jeep®, along with the U.S. Army, Bantam, Ford, and Willys-Overland.
Today, both the iconic Jeep® Wrangler and the Jeep® Gladiator are being produced in Toledo. The Stellantis Toledo Assembly Complex is one of the region’s largest and most modern manufacturing plants. For more than 80 years, Jeep® has been touching the lives of Toledoans and during the weekend of August 2-4, 2024, the city will celebrate that rich history.
