Frequently Asked Questions

Have a question about Jeeps At The Beach?

Hopefully this page can answer any questions you might have. Our volunteers are happy to help out, but be sure to look for your question here first!

What is Jeeps At The Beach?

Jeeps at the Beach is an annual all-Jeep show to benefit the Upstate Foundation and Upstate Golisano Children’s Hospital in Syracuse, NY. For 2024, we have TWO exciting events happening. Sunday August 4th at Sylvan Beach, NY and Jamesville show is yet to be announced.

When is Jeeps at the Beach?

Jeeps at the Beach 2024 marks our 12th Anniversary of this great show. We have helped raise over $130,000 for the Upstate Foundation in Syracuse, NY. JatB 2024 will be held on Sunday, August 4th in Sylvan Beach, NY from 9am to 4pm.

JATB is a rain-or-shine event! We will never cancel the show unless there is a severe weather emergency or personal emergency with our owner.

Where is Jeeps at the Beach?

This year, we are going to invade Jamesville Beach, NY with a date TBA, and we return to our stomping grounds in Sylvan Beach, NY on SUNDAY August 4th.

Can any Jeep come?

Any JEEP model is welcome to register for these shows. You do not have to register, but you WILL NOT be able to park with the “cool kids” and you will likely be razzed for not donating to our great cause. Don’t be a dweeb. Register your Jeep and be a better person for it! Curb hoppers will be asked to donate or leave. Sorry, not sorry!

As a charity event, our number one goal is to support the Upstate Foundation, so if your Jeep isn’t road-worthy or street-legal, you can still register and show it off. Trailer parking is limited and Jeeps at the Beach is not responsible for providing or maintaining trailer space, but your busted-up trail rig is still welcome!

How does registration work?

You can pre-register online (from the main page) for $25. You’ll get an email confirmation – please save a copy of this confirmation and also print it out if possible. When you arrive at the show, please have your confirmation (on paper or on your mobile device) ready so we can get you parked quickly and efficiently. Only one registration per Jeep is required per show! These shows are always free for spectators and passengers!

DAY OF EVENT registration is $30. To register the day of the event, simply show up at the event, follow the Jeep traffic to the gate, and have your $30 ready to go. Cash is preferred, as it is quicker, and we are always looking to make change, so please be prepared with smaller bills. THANK YOU!

After your registration is confirmed, you will receive a registration number card with the day’s event schedule, list of sponsors and maybe even a coupon for free goodies!

JatB is viewed positively by the community, both because of our charity donations and because we, as a show, have always behaved in a respectable manner. Please continue to represent JatB in a positive light as you choose to participate this year.

Can I bring my dog?

JatB is and always has been dog friendly. Please be aware of local laws and mandates regarding having your pet in public. Keep in mind that it may be hot, or raining, or storming, or hot…make sure your pups are well hydrated and out of harm’s way as there will be many Jeeps moving in and out throughout the day.

Please respect others by cleaning up any messes and by keeping your dog on a leash. Respect dog owners by asking before approaching, either to pet or to introduce your dog.

Cats are not allowed, because…they’re cats.
