The Walcott Truckers Jamboree returns to the Iowa 80 Truckstop in Walcott, Iowa, starting tomorrow, July 9 through July 11, bringing professional drivers together for three days of truck competitions, historical exhibits, live entertainment, and industry displays.
Hosted annually at the Iowa 80 Truckstop, the event remains one of the largest gatherings on the trucking calendar. Organizers estimate approximately 46,000 people attended last year’s jamboree, while more than 175 exhibitors are expected to participate during this year’s event.
Admission, parking, and concerts are free.
The schedule includes returning favorites such as the truck beauty contest, the Trucker Olympics, and the annual pork chop cookout, along with opportunities to visit exhibitor displays throughout the grounds.
Friday’s events will include a celebration marking the 100th anniversary of a 1926 FWD truck housed at the Iowa 80 Trucking Museum. Built by the Four Wheel Drive Auto Company, the heavy-duty work truck is part of the museum’s permanent collection and represents an important period in the early development of commercial trucking. Museum admission is free throughout the jamboree, although donations are accepted to help preserve the collection.
Friday evening will conclude with a free concert by country group Little Texas, known for hits including God Blessed Texas and Amy’s Back in Austin. The band was named Top Vocal Group of the Year by the Academy of Country Music in 1993.
The Walcott Truckers Jamboree has been held for decades and continues to attract drivers from across the United States who stop to view custom trucks, visit vendors, explore the trucking museum, and spend time with others in the industry.
