You may know us from the Bantam Jeep Heritage Festival, held every June in Butler, Pennsylvania—but we have another adventure waiting for you!
In 2020, the Friends of the Bantam Jeep Association introduced TrailFest, a relaxed, trail-focused experience held at our very own Bantam Quarry at Kildoo property.
Built on the same Jeep history and hometown pride that makes the Bantam Jeep Heritage Festival special, TrailFest brings enthusiasts together for scenic trail rides, off-road adventure, and the camaraderie of the Jeep community.
Limited to just 500 Jeeps, TrailFest offers a unique opportunity to experience the birthplace of the Jeep while supporting the mission of the Friends of the Bantam Jeep Association.
Proceeds from our events help give back to the Butler community and preserve the legacy of the place where the Jeep story began.
