livebold jeeperfest
MAY 17, 2025 TBD
Bold Rock Cidery - Nellysford, VA
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 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 doubled the size and in 2023, we tripled it, was sold out in a matter of days, and expect the same enthusiasm for 2024!
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 a 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!
