Toledo Jeep Fest is incredibly important to the overall economic vitality of Northwest Ohio and the Toledo area, and although the event was cancelled in 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic, event organizers are confident that the largely outdoor event can be enjoyed safely this August.

The Jeep brand is celebrating 80 years of capability, innovation, and an underlying sense of adventure in 2021, and Toledo Jeep Fest will provide a fitting and proud backdrop for 80th anniversary activities.

Thread Marketing Group (Thread) is deeply involved in the planning and running of Toledo Jeep Fest, having managed the event since its inception in 2016. Thread has once again secured presenting sponsors Dana Incorporated and ProMedica for the fourth iteration of this iconic event. As part of its sponsorship, Dana will feature a large semi-trailer and other Dana products and vehicles all prominently showcased on the festival’s Vendor Midway.

Dana Incorporated MidwayThread and event organizers are excited to announce that official vendor and parade registration is now open at toledojeepfest.com, and that spots are being sold quickly.

Toledo Jeep History
Jeep is fundamental to Toledo’s heritage. In 1941, Willys-Overland won a significant United States Military contract to design the Willys MB, a four-wheel drive utility vehicle that was manufactured throughout World War II. Today, Toledo is the only place in the world making the iconic Jeep Wrangler. Stellantis Toledo Assembly Complex is one of the region’s largest and most modern manufacturing plants. For 80 years, Jeep has been touching the lives of Toledoans and in August 2021, the City will celebrate that rich history.
 
Thread is thrilled to once again be bringing this important event to the City of Toledo and to all of the Jeepers who have been missing the opportunity to share their love of Jeeps.
 
Take a look at the success Thread has had with past events, and then be sure and make plans to join us this year.
