About Us

VA Beach Jeep Fest is one of the east coast's premier Jeep events- it is our 5th year and you do NOT want to miss this! Along the beautiful Oceanfront boardwalk sprawling from 26th St to 30th St and residing under the famous King Neptune Statue. Featuring a super-sized sand course, morning beach cruises, and to top it off, an LED light show and night time sand course. The vendors and sponsors line up and down the boardwalk right next to the sand course, giving the public easy access to upgrade their Jeep with the help of retailers, manufacturers and factory reps. There isn't a more beautiful picture than VA Beach Jeep Fest.

Make your plans today to join the fun- your Jeep will thank you!
Virginia Beach is For Jeep Lovers!
