The Great Willys Picnic, Show and Swap Meet
Sunday June 12, 2022
at the Wanamaker, Kempton & Southern Railroad
located in Kempton, Pennsylvania

The Willys Picnic will be in compliance with all regulations in effect on June 12th. Be prepared for possible changes from past events.

It's time to plan for the 22nd annual Great Willys Picnic, Car Show and Swap Meet, the largest Willys event in the Northeast. All vehicles are welcome: stock, modified, projects, CJs, Wagons, Trucks, Jeepsters, Military, Cars and even GPWs! Pre-1970 Willys vehicles are eligible to win door prizes and great Raffles are available for everyone. The Jeep Field is open for showing all more modern Jeeps. There is plenty of space for selling your spare parts in the swap meet area. Bring your Willys memorabilia and interesting parts for show and tell. Be sure to arrive early to have enough time to see all the Jeeps before the door prize winners are announced at 3:00 PM. Bring your own picnic lunch or purchase food at the refreshment stand. This event goes on Rain or Shine.


The Picnic will be held on the grounds of the Wanamaker, Kempton Southern Railroad 
located in the scenic village of Kempton, Pennsylvania. This is a great setting to display our classic Willys vehicles, as well as entertainment for the entire family. Also on-site is the Schuykill & Lehigh Model Railroad Club's HO model train display.


As always The Willys Picnic, Show and Swap is free. Plan to take the optional train ride for a very reasonable fee. Click here for directions to the RR 

See the website for any updates

I have a few parts I could bring if anyone has an interest.  I have a snow plow setup for a pickup, a 6-226 radiator and a bell housing for 6-226, .030 over pistons for 6-226 and a flywheel.

Hi All,  Trying very hard to make the trip from Maine again this year.  This event is the most fun a Willys Nut can have in a few hours AND it's FREE.  Thanks to Seth, Bob and crew for making it happen.  Hope to see you there.  Glenn

  We had truck troubles on the way from Maine to PA and had to return home.  Sure hate to miss this great show.  Have fun you Willys Nuts!
