The Bantam Show ’n Shine makes a return for 2026 — and it’s bigger, louder, and more patriotic than ever. Polish up your pride and joy and roll into the Bantam Show ’n Shine, a crowd-judged Jeep showdown where the fans decide who takes home the bragging rights. Park your rig, pop the hood, and let fellow Jeepers cast their votes — from clean classics and trail-tough builds to bold customs that stop people in their tracks.

This is a laid-back, all-American celebration of style, creativity, and 15 years of Bantam Jeep passion. No pressure, no panels — just Jeeps, Jeepers, and a whole lot of love for the brand. Come show it off, cheer on your favorites, and see if your Jeep earns the biggest applause of the weekend.

Have an earlier model Jeep? Vintage rigs belong in Best of Bantam, where classics take center stage near the History Exhibit.
