Jeep Invasion

Friday, June 13 - 6 - 10 p.m. Required Pre-Invasion Staging North & South of Downtown Butler
Cost:  $25
Includes dash plaque
*Does not include a wristband for Festival admission*

Capacity: 1,000

Join us for a Jeep party in Downtown Butler! The streets will be closed. The DJs will be playing. The sidewalks will be filled with 15,000 Jeep enthusiasts. And most important, the Jeeps will be parked everywhere! Bring your Jeep for everyone to see, and meet thousands of Jeepers! Butler’s businesses and organizations are planning lots of great things to see and do while you’re Downtown. All pre-registered participants will receive a dash plaque. All participants must register.  Driver admission to Coopers Lake is NOT included for participants who only select this activity.

IMPORTANT! Based on positive participant response in 2024, we will continue to require gathering at our pre-staging locations before traveling downtown for the Invasion. You will choose North or South pre-Invasion staging where you must check-in, pick up your Invasion credentials and depart according to our staging manager’s instructions. During your registration, you will be asked to choose between North and South. This means that you will report to that staging area before the Invasion, receive your Invasion credentials and then drive to town with the other Jeeps from that location when you are dismissed. This is not a parade and all traffic laws must be followed.

To expedite the time it takes to park 1,000 Jeeps, Jeeps will be parked on Main Street and two side streets and parking lots simultaneously.  There is no way to guarantee that your Jeep will park on Main Street as parking spaces will be determined as the streets fill. Anyone not complying with the parking instructions provided by our volunteers will be removed from the Invasion by City police. 

Due to pedestrian safety, City of Butler Police require that once you are parked, you may not leave your parking space until 9 p.m.  If you must leave before then, do not park on Main Street.  Please request to park on one of the side streets designated for Jeep parking when you arrive Downtown.
