Sheriff's JeepFest — Attraction in Talking Rock

Awesome annual Jeep only event put on by the Pickens County Sheriff and the Sheriff's office. JeepFest raises money for a variety of charities that share one thing in common….they take care of kids. Some of the charities that we help include the Georgia Sheriffs’ Youth Homes, the Joy House, Special Olympics for Pickens County, the Boys and Girls Club, the Jasper Youth Sports Association and much more! If you own a Jeep, live in the Southeast United States and love Jeep events... This is a great event! Night trail ride, Jeep show-n-shine, different degrees of trails to ride, obstacle course, tons of Jeep vendors with lots of different aftermarket Jeep parts, food and drink vendors, kids play area and more. Love going to this...

Unbelievably crowded! Worst I've seen ever! Event has gotten so popular... They seriously need to expand their space! The one walking bridge everyone (1000's of people have to cross to get from parking area to sponsors/food/actual event.... Is the worst part! This is 17 minuets after they opened registration on THURSDAY! Event doesn't even begin until tomorrow. And it's already this packed... It's going to be unbearable Fri-sun... I'm glad I got my shirts today! Plans for returning to home base without a vendor pass, is not happening.... It's a great event I've went many years, but this year seems overwhelming and it hasnt even begun! The events that take place are fun, but the over crowdedness isnt worth...

Update: after attending the event for 4 years I will warn you that even though they say rain or shine, they will close the trails once they get muddy. Very disappointing. 2 of the last four years trails were closed on Saturday and Sunday with the night rides reduced to a 10 min ride on dirt road. If there's rain in the forecast, we will not attend.

Fantastic. I highly recommend this event I have been to other large Jeep events that were a terrible traffic jam and allowed alcohol on the trails. Jeepfest does not allow alcohol on the trails. This one is a Very well organized large Jeep event. Trails are fun and access to and on the trails are well managed. The town is great and the night...
