I took these photos at the 2022 Bantam Jeep Heritage Festival on the Streets of Butler during the Jeep Invasion. This was on the first Wheeling America Tour by the JeepCast.

The JeepCast was coming back through Butler for the 2025 Bantam Jeep Heritage Festival and I was also attending. I gifted these prints to Gary and Gary.

The following is brief summary of the Wheeling America Tour 2025 from Perplexity.

The Jeepcast’s “Wheeling America” tour is back for 2025, bringing Jeep enthusiasts a coast-to-coast celebration of off-roading, camaraderie, and trail stewardship. Hosted by Gary and Gary, the Jeepcast team is hitting some of the most iconic and challenging off-road parks across the southern United States, sharing their journey with listeners and fans in real time.

The following is a brief summary of the Bantam Jeep Heritage Festival Jeep Invasion from Perplexity.

The Bantam Jeep Heritage Festival’s Jeep Invasion is a signature event held annually in downtown Butler, Pennsylvania—the birthplace of the Jeep. Taking place June 13-15, 2025, the Jeep Invasion draws thousands of Jeep enthusiasts from across the United States and Canada for a massive street party and showcase, featuring an impressive display of Jeeps ranging from vintage classics to the latest models.
During the Invasion, downtown Butler transforms as hundreds of Jeeps line the streets, giving attendees the chance to admire the vehicles, connect with fellow Jeep fans, and celebrate the enduring legacy of the original Bantam Reconnaissance Car. The event also features music, food vendors, and a vibrant community atmosphere, making it a highlight of the festival weekend for both participants and spectators. Whether you’re a history buff, off-road adventurer, or simply love the Jeep lifestyle, the Jeep Invasion is a must-see celebration of Jeep heritage and camaraderie
