Third Annual Jeep Jamboree to be Hosted by Gate City

The beautiful town of Gate City, Virginia, renowned for its delightful festivals and charming small-town ambiance, is set to host the popular Jeep Jamboree for the third consecutive year. This annual outdoor extravaganza is scheduled to take place on Memorial Day weekend, specifically on Saturday, May 25, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., promising a memorable experience for all Jeep enthusiasts.

Event Highlights

The Jeep Jamboree will be held in downtown Gate City, and the day’s events will feature a variety of activities. Participants and spectators can look forward to a day filled with mini-golf, face painting, inflatables, food trucks, live music, shopping opportunities, and much more. Vendors from different sectors will also showcase their products and services.

The main attraction, of course, will be the eagerly anticipated Jeep showcase. Participants are encouraged to pre-register their Jeeps to ensure they get a spot.

Changes to Accommodate More Jeeps

Due to the growing popularity of the event over the past two years, the organizers have made a few changes to accommodate more Jeep participants. Most notably, there will be an expansion of the street closure to assist in accommodating the increased number of vehicle entries.

Event organizer and Gate City Frontier director, Leslie Crawford, has high hopes that the expanded boundaries will mean they can welcome more Jeeps than ever. In the past, the event has attracted Jeep lovers from several other states, including North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and even from as far away as Texas.

Jeep Awards

The Jeep showcase won’t just be a visual treat for onlookers; owners will have the chance to compete for awards in a variety of categories, voted on by the attendees. The award categories include Most Patriotic Jeep, Best Kids Jeep, Best Lights, Most Unique Themed Jeep, Best Old School Jeep, Most Unique Jeep Name, and Best Ladies Jeep.

Community Engagement and Local Boost

Aside from the entertainment and fun, the Jeep Jamboree also presents an excellent opportunity for local businesses to gain exposure. Attendees are encouraged to explore local stores, sample offerings from food trucks, and visit local restaurants during the event. Overall, the event promises to stimulate the local economy and showcase what Gate City has to offer.

Scenic Drive around Scott County

After a fun-filled day at the Jeep Jamboree, attendees can also explore the scenic beauty of Scott County. After the event, Jeep participants will drive as a group to take in some of the stunning scenery the area offers, including sites such as the historic Bush Mill.

Registration for participating Jeeps is open until the closing hours of May 22. On-site registration is also available on the day of the event.
