trailfest vendor and sponsor opportunities

Bantam TrailFest is a relaxed, trail riding event for up to 500 registered Jeeps at the Bantam Quarry at Kildoo — 235 acres purchased by Friends of the Bantam Jeep Association (FBJA) in 2020. Each registered Jeep participates in the Jeepers Creepers Night Crawl, a Scenic Trail Ride, and two trail ride sessions on the property.

Bantam TrailFest is more than an off-road event—it's an opportunity to bring together the Jeep community in a way that supports our mission. Revenue generated through TrailFest helps friends of the bantam jeep association:

  • Preserve and promote the birthplace of the Jeep

  • Create educational programs that celebrate Jeep history

  • Develop new events and experiences for the Jeep community

  • Support tourism and local businesses throughout Butler County

  • Give back to nonprofit organizations through our Financial Gift Program

  • Continue investing in future events that strengthen the Jeep community
