Go Topless Day 2026
We're excited to once again support Barricade Go Topless Day. Our 2026 event will be held on Saturday, May 16th, marking the 19th annual celebration of this cherished Jeep tradition. Jeep enthusiasts worldwide will kick off the start of Spring by taking their tops off, with events spanning the globe celebrating the biggest Jeep event in the world.
From 4x4 trail cleanups to Jeep parades and show-and-shines, Jeepers everywhere proudly displayed their Go Topless Day spirit. In 2025, tens of thousands participated, raising an impressive $417,000 for charity, bringing the total amount raised since 2019 to over $1,400,000, a milestone the entire Jeep community can take pride in.
Barricade is honored to be part of this incredible tradition, and we deeply appreciate the clubs that supported registered 501(c) organizations making a positive impact in their local communities. As part of our commitment to these efforts, Barricade is proud to match up to $500 for any event that raises a minimum of $500 towards a registered 501(c) charity. We encourage everyone to celebrate with fun, safety, and responsibility.
Thank you for your continued support!
Memorial Weekend Branched Oak Lake Cruise 2026
Annual Cruise! For the past few years our growing group has been holding a cruise around Branched Oak Lake on Memorial weekend. This cruise is not limited to any group of vehicles. You can cruise in what you bring. Hotrods, Ratrods, Muscle Cars, Classic Cars, New Cars, Motorcycles, Trucks, Jeeps etc. Local groups make yourselves known! There is no fee to join the cruise, however you will need to have a park permit. Come meet new friends that enjoy cruising like you! Last year we had over 100 vehicles! More info to come.
Before You Come Out
Bring recovery gear, water, and a full tank. Most events are at your own risk — trails have inherent dangers and your rig’s condition is on you. If you’re new, let someone know and we’ll get you paired up with a group.
