The Great Willys Picnic, Show and Swap Meet
Sunday June 8, 2025 from 9 am – 2 pm at the Wanamaker, Kempton & Southern Railroad
located in Kempton, Pennsylvania

It’s time to plan for the 25th annual Great Willys Picnic, Car Show and Swap Meet, the largest Willys event in the Northeast. All vehicles are welcome: stock, modified, projects, CJs, Wagons, Trucks, Jeepsters, Military, Cars and even GPWs! Pre-1970 Willys vehicles are eligible to win door prizes and great Raffles are available for everyone. The Jeep Field is open for showing all more modern Jeeps. There is plenty of space for selling your spare parts in the swap meet area. Bring your Willys memorabilia and interesting parts for show and tell. Be sure to arrive early to have enough time to see all the Jeeps before the door prize winners and raffles are announced at 2:00 PM. Bring your own picnic lunch or purchase food at the refreshment stand. This event goes on Rain or Shine.

The Picnic will be held on the grounds of the

Wanamaker, Kempton Southern Railroad

Located in the scenic village of Kempton, Pennsylvania. This is a great setting to display our classic Willys vehicles, as well as entertainment for the entire family. Also on-site is the Schuykill & Lehigh Model Railroad Club’s HO model train display. Please support the Railroad and take the optional train ride for a very reasonable fee.

Epic Willys Adventure EWA6 The Great Mitten Race

• CATEGORIES: Event • TAGS: , , , , This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

PRESS RELEASE: The Epic Willys Adventure Returns for 2025 – The Great Mitten Race

Butler, PA – June 2025

The Epic Willys Adventure 6: The Great Mitten Race is set to fire up June 2025—kicking off once again from the Bantam Jeep Heritage Festival, held June 13–15 in Butler, PA. EWA6 will cover over 1,500 miles in true throwback fashion, with no GPS, no interstate, and nothing but vintage 1941–1964 Willys Jeeps, maps, and iron will.

At the heart of the festival, Epic Basecamp will be featured behind the Jeep History Exhibit near the Military Encampment. Fans and festival-goers will get to meet the racers, check out their rugged Willys Jeeps, and see what it takes to chase glory on backroads and battle-tested terrain.

What Is the Epic Willys Adventure?

The story of the Epic Willys Adventure was born in 2015 by the crew at Max-Bilt Offroad in the northwoods of Wisconsin. The idea? Pull a forgotten Willys Jeep out of a farm field, breathe life back into it, and road-trip the backroads of America the way our grandfathers did—no tech, just tools, maps, and guts.

On March 10, 2016, fourteen fearless drivers in eight bone-stock Willys Jeeps set out from Eau Claire, WI to Moab, UT, attending the 50th Easter Jeep Safari. The mission was simple: prove you don’t need modern comforts to experience a true adventure.

They didn’t stop there.

2018: Canada to Mexico along the Continental Divide.

2021: Oregon Trail from Independence, MO to Oregon City, OR.

2023: Concord Cup looped through New England to Mt. Washington, ending in Jeep’s birthplace—Butler, PA.

2024: The Moonshine Run to Pigeon Forge, TN and back—exploring America’s hidden whiskey-running history.

Each year, the adventure averages nearly 2,000 miles through remote regions with no cell phones, GPS, or highways. Drivers sleep under the stars, rebuild broken rigs on the roadside, and share stories around the fire. It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s what we call #underlanding.

EWA6: The Great Mitten Race

This year’s adventure is set to make history again. From Bantam, the crews will head northwest through Toledo—where the original Willys Jeeps were built—and roll through Detroit’s iconic auto past. Then it’s on around Michigan’s lower peninsula, hugging the coastlines of Lake Huron and Lake Michigan.

Expect:

Shipwrecks & lighthouses

Scenic heritage routes

The mighty Mackinac Bridge

Sand dunes, backroads, and live off-road racing

Historic farms, orchards, and backcountry towns

A community of Jeepers and adventurers unlike any other

Racers earn points along the way by completing hidden challenges from the official Race Book. From spotting mythical creatures to locating historical landmarks and helping fellow competitors, every day offers a new test of grit and camaraderie.

It’s not just a race—it’s a celebration of Willys Jeep history, the spirit of exploration, and the dirt-road lifestyle.

Don’t Miss It.

Whether you’re cheering from Bantam or chasing checkpoints yourself, this is the ultimate Willys Jeep experience. Bring your rig, join the brotherhood, and help us keep vintage Jeep culture alive and thriving.
