One of the biggest highlights of the day will be the Jeep parade beginning at 4 p.m.
The parade will travel around Jackson Farms’ 350-acre property following the hayride route.
Organizers describe the route as a little hilly, a little rugged and offering some light off-roading, while still being manageable for first-time participants.
The route will travel through the middle of the farm, through the creek, up and down hills, around the lake and across the levee.
Visitors throughout the farm will be able to watch and enjoy the parade.

All proceeds from Jeep tickets will be donated to St. Jude.
Donation jars and other opportunities to contribute to St. Jude will also be available around Jackson Farms during the event.
The day will also include Jackson Farms’ usual fall festival activities, food and opportunities for Jeep enthusiasts to spend time with other participants.
