The Jeepin' Fest 2024 kicked off in Aransas Pass for a second year in a row at the Civic Center.
The festival is a way for jeep owners and the general public to come together and have a fun time participating in and watching jeep competitions.
It also provided an opportunity for jeep lovers to buy equipment for their vehicle.
The event organizer Christina Lee was beyond shocked at the turnout and how it benefits the Aransas Pass area.
"I think this is amazing for Aransas Pass because Aransas Pass gets a bad rap all the time, unfortunately ... It gives a bump to the economics of the community and it also gives people something to look forward to because it is a family friendly event," said Lee.
The organizer said they are hoping to have 3 more "Jeepin" events!
