What is the largest Bronco event in the USA each year?

[Tobtech]

I'd like to hear from this group, what is the largest Ford Bronco event of the year in the US? Since we started making audio upgrade parts for Broncos, we plan to exhibit at several events in 2025 (and maybe late 2024). We only have so much time and money to attend events so we want to get the biggest bang for the buck. If there were 1 or 2 classic Bronco events to target next year, what would they be?

Thanks,
Toby "Tobtech" Lewis

Super Celebration East in Tennessee, for sure.

MEB'S east coast round up is good one!

I would chose 1 from the East and 1 from the West to get more exposure. @toddz69 is correct that Super Cel East is by far the biggest event. MEB is a good event as @tasker states but you'll get a lot of the same crowd. My second choice (yes I'm biased!) would be Super Cel West in Buena Vista CO. Bronco Safari in Utah usually would be good but they are going though some changes this year so it's kind of wait and see how the new venue develops. Big Bear Bash maybe?? LEBC Roundup in Texas? Good event but attendance was down a bit this year.

Are you focusing on upgrades only for the Gen6 Bronco, or for the Early Bronco folks too?

FYI, Super Cel West in CO will be the latest big event in 2024. It's September 4-7, the week end following Labor Day.

And if you are talking about Gen 6 stuff the "Bronco Stampede" August 16 - 17 2024 at Pigeon Forge, Tn is pretty good.

Historically it was the AZ Classic Bronco Roundup in the late 90s and early '00s.
SOB, Knotts Berry Farm, and one up in Victorville were pretty big as well.
Hot springs started brining in a lot of people.
But I have no idea what the current gatherings are going.

And are you after strictly 1st gen, or all gens of Broncos?

We make parts for both Gen1 and Gen6 but as far as events, I'm a little more interested in Gen1 events (or events that have a mix). The classic car truck scene is a little more familiar to me and I feel event is maybe slightly more important for the classic stuff. I may be wrong but just based on the fact that Gen 1 are rarely daily driven, more of a crowd likely to participate in events, where Gen 6 is a mix of both enthusiasts and grocery getters.

Thanks for all the info, great help!

Biggest bang for the buck post em up here.

Yeah, curious now...what do you offer?

Yeah, curious now...what do you offer?

For Gen1 Bronco; High end audio packages and components. Our differences are everything is bolt in and finished when possible. All wiring, hardware, upholstery, mounting brackets included. So for Gen 1 we make a kick panel kit, subwoofer kit and a full audio package with DSP.

For Gen6 Bronco: right now we have a dual 10" tailgate box, again, bolt in. Its the only one on the market that you don't have to drill holes. We have other products for Gen6 in the plans. We started out as company specializing in high end audio for classic cars and trucks but the boss got a Bronco Raptor and we couldn't help ourselves so we started making stuff for it.

We are in the vendor section, TPD HiFI. I'm sure we will run some specials for the group from time to time.

EAST - Super Cel, TN is an absolute must. I don't think there's an event that pulls close to that crowd. There's other great events like MEB, OCBR Lonestar and more, but Tennessee is going to be most bang for the buck.

WEST - You may want to consider NW Bronco Roundup or Super Cel, CO. NWBR gets a good sized group every year, and it's right on the Oregon Coast which is a plus.

Good luck with the business. Great looking product.
