Jeep The Mac
May 8–9, 2026
Every spring, Jeep® enthusiasts from across the Midwest roll into St. Ignace for Jeep the Mac—a weekend dedicated to off-road adventure, community, and the rugged beauty of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. The event features scenic trail rides, obstacle courses, vendor displays, and evening socials, all framed by the stunning views of the Straits of Mackinac.
A highlight of the weekend is the iconic Jeep parade across the Mackinac Bridge, a one-of-a-kind experience that unites drivers from both peninsulas. When bridge construction pauses the crossing, the celebration continues with full trail events and activities in St. Ignace and nearby destinations.
Join us this spring to explore, connect, and experience St. Ignace in high gear.
