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 August 2024, the city and its visitors will once again come together to celebrate this rich legacy during the 8th Annual Toledo Jeep® Fest.
The inaugural Toledo Jeep® Fest took place in 2016 as a one-day celebration and proved to be an overwhelming success, drawing an estimated 40,000 attendees to downtown Toledo—marking the city’s largest event turnout since the end of World War II. Since then, the festival has only grown bigger and better each year.
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.
