  The Guinness World Records' record for the largest parade of Jeeps consists of 2,420 vehicles and was achieved by the Bantam Jeep Heritage Festival (USA) in Butler, Pennsylvania, USA, on 12 June 2015. The Bantam Jeep Heritage Festival attempted this record to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Bantam Jeep. The vehicles paraded along a 4.4 km (2.75 mile) route throughout downtown Butler.

  Guinness World Records also recognized the world record for the largest parade of electric cars; it consisted of 241 cars and was organised by Stephane Pascalon (Canada) in Montreal, Canada, on 18 April 2015.

    Jeeps from 38 states and Canada participated in the record-setting event.

    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.

    The Bantam festival honors Butler as "the birthplace of Jeep." This year was special because the festival also commemorated the 75th birthday of the vehicle that gained prominence during World War II.
