Bantam Jeepfest: Bars, Lights, and Brews

Get ready for a bigger, better and more colorful event in 2025! Jeeps will show off their lights in our general parking area and will be judged by various Festival vendors (light companies will not be judging to ensure fairness). Judges will vote for the Most Colorful, the Best Use of Lights and Out of the Dark (for those that might need to level up their Jeep’s light set up!). New in 2025, participants must select their category when registering.

We will have a DJ who will get the party rocking! Enjoy craft beers, wine and more from Butler County breweries and wineries who will be selling their beverages by the glass throughout the evening. A food truck will be serving their items to satisfy your hunger!

Cash prizes of $150, $125, and $100 will be awarded for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners respectively for the Most Colorful and Best Use of Lights categories.

The Out of the Dark category winner will receive a prize from our sponsor.
