The 10th Annual Jeep the Mac event will still look a little bit different this year. Due to continuinig Mackinac Bridge construction, we will not be able to parade across the bridge as usual. Instead, we are working on other fun activities for the off-roading enthusiast.
Taking place on May 9-11, 2025 in St. Ignace and Drummond Island, MI, this annual event draws Jeep enthusiasts from around the Midwest to participate in Jeep activities in the Eastern Upper Peninsula including participation in a revamped “playground” obstacle course at Kewadin Casino, guided trail rides around the Eastern Upper Peninsula on Friday, ferry passes to Drummond Island for Saturday trail riding (including access to Turtle Ridge Off-road Park), commemorative gifts, and lots of vendors and sponsors selling Jeep products as well as other products. Registration for this event is now open. Register and find more details here: https://stignace.com/event/jeep-the-mac/
This year, we are going to continue the Parade of Lights on Saturday evening. This will include staging at the Mackinac County Airport Saturday evening at dusk followed by a downtown parade with ALL your lights on so we encourage registrants to beef up lighting with lightbars and various after-market lighting options and decorations. There will prizes, awards, and other TBD activities!
We are also revamping the Friday Meet and Greet this year – say goodbye to a mid-day indoor gathering and gear up for an evening of bonfires and bridge views – more details to be announced shortly.
Registration will be closing April 28th at 5 PM and there will be no onsite registration. Cost is $35 per person, 12 and over. Children under 12 are free.
