JWA Mt. Rushmore

Go Topless Day 2026

It’s America’s 250th Birthday and JWA is pleased to be hosting the 2026 JWA Barricade Go Topless Day on Saturday, May 16, 2026 at Mt. Rushmore!

This 19th annual event is a worldwide tradition for the Jeep community to celebrate the start of Spring by taking off their Jeep tops. But don’t worry, we know it’s a little cold here in SD so we will be keeping our tops on!

We will be gathering in Rapid City, SD (near the new Big D on Moon Meadows Dr.) for a Jeep parade (put those American flags on your ride!) to Mt. Rushmore where we will take advantage of the picturesque scenery to pose with our Jeeps!

We will then head to Keystone, SD for a BBQ and festivities at the Keystone Community Center and Park.

We are looking for Jeeps interested in hosting a veteran to ride along for the event.
