MAY 20, 2023
Bold Rock Cidery - Nellysford, VA
Bold Rock and the LIVE BOLD JeeperFest OPENS TO THE PUBLIC AT 11 AM on Saturday, May 20. The festival is from 11AM - 4 PM. Please DO NOT come early, as the front entrance gate will be closed. Staff will be setting up for the event and parking registered Jeeps in the meadow. Thank you!
Jeeps.® We love them. In fact, we can't get enough of them. So, after a decade of creating amazing running events throughout Virginia's Shenandoah Valley and Rockfish Valley, we decided to scratch another itch – JEEP events.
We launched the LIVE BOLD JeeperFest at Bold Rock Cidery in 2021 to celebrate Extreme Terrain's Go Topless Day®. The inaugural event had over 100 Jeeps mustered in the picturesque meadows of Bold Rock. In 2022 we increased the cap to 225 Jeeps and sold out in 4 days! For 2023, we are increasing the event cap to 300 Jeeps!
Go Topless Day is a worldwide tradition for the Jeep community to celebrate the start of Spring by taking off their Jeep tops. More than 360 events took place worldwide in 2022 - events ranged from trail cleanups to Jeep parades to show-and-shines. For each event that raises at least $500 for their local 501(c)(3) organization, Barricade Off Road will match $500 to that same organization.
We will be celebrating all day with great live music, delectable food trucks, a Jeep Show & Shine competition, awesome vendors and tasty Bold Rock Hard Cider to make JeeperFest the perfect spring festival!
