The Spring 2025 edition of Jeep Fest is now in the books, as off-road and Jeep enthusiasts converged on the Harlan Center on Friday, April 25, and Saturday, April 26, to partake in all things Jeep. The Mountain Market was also happening simultaneously inside the Harlan Center, providing even more options for festivalgoers.
The festivities kicked off Friday evening, April 25, with Jeeps rolling in from all over to show off their custom equipment and for the folks to get together and meet, greet, and get to know other Jeepers from throughout the region and beyond.
Jeep Fest shifted into high gear on Saturday.
Participants devoted time throughout the day to check out the many Jeeps lined up at the Harlan Center and simply hang out and chat with others who share an intense interest in off-road activities.
Inside the Harlan Center, attendees could find the Mountain Market in full swing, with multiple venders set up to sell their unique merchandise. Items including clothing, jewelry, and crafts were all on display and available for purchase. For the children, inflatables were the highlight of the day as the younger folks lined up to take part in the fun. Out in front of the Harlan Center, a cornhole tournament brought in participants who were looking for additional activity.
Throughout the day on Saturday, live music rang out from the stage in the Harlan Center parking lot. The Turner Family Revival kicked things off at noon on Saturday, followed by sets from Shyla Raleigh, Lacie Deaton, and Dakota Saylor. The popular bluegrass group The Creekers headlined the live music aspect of the event with their driving acoustic instruments and vocals based performance.
A large selection of festival foods was also available, with vendors such as Rayna’s Refreshments, 2 big Pigs, and others set up throughout the grounds.
“Jeep Fest is just a lot of fun,” said festival goer Danny Bailey. “Everybody enjoys it.”
The Spring Jeep Fest was hosted by the Muddy Harlan Jeep Crew.
