The Grand Strand’s biggest fall gathering returns this weekend. The 9th Annual Myrtle Beach Jeep Jam will occupy the Old Myrtle Square Mall site from October 30 through November 1, bringing more than 5,000 Jeeps and an anticipated 30,000 visitors to the heart of Myrtle Beach.
Spectator experience for families
While the event is a showcase for Jeep enthusiasts, it is designed as a full spectator experience for local families and visitors alike. Bleacher seating lets guests watch Jeeps climb, crawl and splash through the Proving Grounds while giant video boards, a live announcer, DJ and music keep the energy high all day.
Admission is just $10 per day, and children under 12 are admitted free, making it an affordable outing for parents looking for wholesome weekend entertainment.
More than just Jeeps
Beyond the action‑packed proving grounds, attendees can wander among hundreds of custom and classic Jeeps, browse more than 120 vendor booths, and sample a variety of food‑truck fare. The festival also offers a full slate of Halloween activities, including a parade on Ocean Boulevard, a Trunk‑or‑Treat area, a costume contest, a haunted trail and themed photo spots.
Quotes from organizers
“Jeep Jam is just as much fun for the people watching as it is for the people driving,” said Philip Van der Vossen of NS Promotions & Events. “You can watch the action, check out thousands of incredible vehicles, shop the vendors, grab something to eat and enjoy the Halloween atmosphere. You definitely don’t have to own a Jeep to have a great day at Jeep Jam.”
Community impact
The event has grown into the largest Jeep gathering of the fall season and one of the biggest fall festivals on the Grand Strand. Local businesses benefit from the influx of visitors, and families gain a safe, family‑oriented environment to celebrate Halloween together.
Whether you’re a Jeep fan, a food‑truck lover, or simply looking for a festive weekend outing, Myrtle Beach Jeep Jam offers a blend of automotive excitement, local commerce and holiday spirit that reflects the community’s love of family, faith and freedom.
