Butler reclaims title for hosting the most Jeeps
Butler has officially reclaimed its world record for hosting the largest Jeep Parade.
Guinness World Records reports that the Bantam Jeep Heritage Festival Parade on June 12 included 2,420 Jeeps, breaking the record of 1,846 vehicles set earlier this year by the Jeep Beach event in Florida.
Jeeps from 38 states and Canada participated in the record-setting event.
Following the parade was the Jeep Invasion when more than 1,200 Jeeps were parked on and near Main Street until 10 p.m.
The parade kicked off the fifth annual Bantam Jeep Festival at Cooper’s Lake Campground in Worth Township. A total of 2,937 Jeeps participated in the weekend-long event, making it the largest ever.
The Festival originally set the record for the Largest Jeep Parade in August 2011 with 1,106 Jeeps.
