At Bantam, it’s more than a Jeep® thing … it’s a hometown thing.
Jeep’s story begins right here in Butler, Pennsylvania—where the very first prototype was imagined, built and tested in 1940. That legacy is in our roots, our roads, and our community. Every June, thousands of Jeep enthusiasts from across the country roll into Butler to celebrate the machine that changed history and the people who helped start it all.
Our 2025 Festival welcomes Jeep lovers from all over the country (and Canada!) for a weekend packed with trail riding, obstacle action, family fun, and nonstop community spirit. Whether your rig is stock, modified, or extreme, there’s a place for you at Bantam.
Come experience one of the largest Jeep-focused festivals: hit the trails, meet incredible vendors, explore rare Jeep history, grab fresh gear, or join signature events like the Invasion—where Main Street comes alive with color, chrome, and thousands of proud Jeep owners.
