Big Bear Forest Fest 2026 is BACK!
After four long years, one of Southern California’s favorite off-road gatherings is returning to the mountains! Join us for an unforgettable weekend of adventure, community, and purpose—all
benefiting CORVA and the future of responsible recreation.
Brought to you by
Krawler Krew, proudly sponsored by American Off Road, and powered by
MetalCloak, this year’s Forest Fest is shaping up to be an incredible event. And what would an event powered by MetalCloak be without their famous CTI trailer? Be sure to bring your rig and test it out!
Forest Fest will bring together off-road enthusiasts, families, and supporters for a weekend full of trail runs, vendors, raffles, activities, and more—all set in the beautiful Big Bear
area.
This year’s event features guided access to iconic
Jeep Badge of Honor Trails, including John Bull, Gold Mountain,
Holcomb Creek, and Dishpan Springs—giving Jeep owners the opportunity to earn badges while tackling some of the region’s most legendary routes.
Come reconnect with the community, support trail access and advocacy, and celebrate everything that makes off-roading special. Whether you’re a longtime supporter or a first-timer, this
is an event you won’t want to miss!
