Big Bear Forest Fest 2026 is BACK!

🏔️️ ️✨ Forest Fest is BACK! ✨ ️🏔️

After four years away, one of Southern California’s most loved off-road events is finally making its return to the mountains—and it’s coming back stronger than ever.

REGISTRATION IS OPEN NOW!!

Join us for a weekend built on adventure, community, and purpose, all in support of CORVA and the continued fight for responsible recreation and access to our public lands.

 🚙💨 Brought to you by Krawler Krew, proudly sponsored by American Off Road, and powered by MetalCloak, this year’s Forest Fest is set to deliver. And yes—the MetalCloak CTI trailer will be there, so bring your rig and put it to the test.

 🌲Set in the stunning Big Bear area, Forest Fest brings together off-roaders, families, and supporters for a full weekend of trail runs, vendors, raffles, activities, and more.

 🏆 This year features guided runs on iconic Jeep Badge of Honor trails—John Bull, Gold Mountain, Holcomb Creek, and Dishpan Springs—giving Jeep owners the chance to earn badges while taking on some of the most legendary terrain in the region.

🤝 Come reconnect with the off-road community, support trail access and advocacy, and celebrate everything that makes this lifestyle worth protecting. Whether you’ve been with us for years or it’s your first time out, this is one event you don’t want to miss.
