Our centerpiece is the daily Beach Crawl (we coined the phrase "the sandy carpet ride") where you watch the sun rise over the ocean, while heading north on the beach from the Pier to 30th Street. It's one of the most amazing experiences you can imagine.
Three times a day, we offer the Sand Course. This custom-built playground for your Jeep is meant to feel like a roller coaster ride on four wheels. In the shadow of the Pier amusements, adjacent to the Boardwalk, this course is designed to be user-friendly.
Our event hub is the Ocean City Convention Center at 40th Street, where you'll find a Vendor Village featuring regional, national, and international vendors, as well as live entertainment. It's a showcase for Jeep and 4x4 parts, services, and sales, headlined by our title sponsor KICKER audio. This area is open to the public during the show. Here, you also can take part in the Show & Shine, where participants show off their lovingly customized rides, from old to new, mild to wild.
The core of our event is always YOU, the Jeep owner and enthusiast.
We love to see you smile as you drive down the sand. We enjoy the laughs as you roll over the moguls of the Sand Course. We see the camaraderie at our nighttime parties hosted around Ocean City, Maryland. We watch as the Jeep clubs roll through town in their pride and joy, adorned with their nicknames.
Ocean City Jeep Fest is for everybody, young and old. It's one of the town's most family-friendly events. We pride ourselves on our history – but we strive for bigger and better things in our future. Together we'll continue to make great memories on the beautiful Ocean City sand.
Teamwork makes the dream work! Thank you as always to our Ocean City Jeep Fest support staff, volunteers, sponsors, partners, and the Town of Ocean City Staff, without whom we could not produce this event – and YOU, our loyal participants.
We take immense pride in facilitating Ocean City's annual Jeep gathering. Whether you're a new Jeep owner, or you've been around Jeeps all your life, it's a Jeep thing.
Our event is a celebration of Jeep culture, energy, and passion. That's what Ocean City Jeep Fest is all about. Enjoy the ride with us!
