SATURDAY: 10:00am-12:30 Show N Shine at Heinemans Winery. Trophies given immediately after. Take group photos, pick up T-shirts and goodie bags.
Prizes from our sponsors and remaining T-shirts will be given out starting 7pm at Joe’s Bar right by the campground. They have food to buy and room for our Jeeps.
SUNDAY: Antique Car Parade 1pm Twine Shanty (North of Miller Ferry dock) Jeeps 1993 and older can join existing weekly parade. Parade departs at 2pm.
However, much of the appeal isn’t just in the Jeeps themselves — it’s the community of people who come together to celebrate their favorite vehicles.
How to bring your Jeep over to Put-in-Bay?
Guest coming to Put-in-Bay for the Jeep invasion can bring their beloved vehicle over on the Miller Ferry. The Miller Ferry is the only transportation service to Put-in-Bay and other Lake Erie Islands that has the capacity to transport both vehicles and passengers. Located near cities like Cleveland, Toledo and Sanduksy, The Miller Ferry is a great way to get to Put-in-Bay. The only other ferry service is the Jet Express which offers passenger only travel from Port Clinton to downtown Put-in-Bay.
