Bronco Busting News

The third annual New Jersey Bronco Invasion, organized by Blinker Fluid Productions, stormed the beaches of Wildwood this past weekend in what attendees unanimously called the biggest and best event yet. Held from July 18 to 20, the sold-out spectacle brought hundreds of Ford Broncos—old and new—onto the sand for a weekend of beach driving, off-road thrills, and community celebration.
Pre-registration for participants sold out more than a month before the event, closing by mid-June, with spectators filling in to witness the invasion unfold across the beach from Andrews to Cresse Avenues. Over 300 Broncos lined the sand—ranging from first-generation classics to modern Raptors—drawing in record crowds and media buzz.
A signature highlight of the event was the Rausch Creek Off-Road Park–powered obstacle course, a mounded, sand-packed challenge that had Broncos climbing, crawling, and flexing their capabilities just steps from the ocean. Dozens of custom builds turned heads, including a Joker-themed Bronco that quickly became a fan favorite. Adding to the atmosphere was a roaming Sasquatch mascot, delighting both kids and adult fans alike.
More than 50 vendors lined the beach with custom parts, gear, and off-road accessories, while evening socials such as the “Oracle Light Party” at the NAS Wildwood Aviation Museum and “Broncos & Brews” at Cold Spring Brewery kept the party going after sundown.
“Everyone we talked to said the same thing—this year’s invasion was bigger than the last two combined,” said organizers at Blinker Fluid Productions. “The energy, the builds, the turnout... it all exceeded our expectations.”
The event's momentum mirrors Ford Bronco’s surge in the off-road market. In Q1 2025, Bronco sales spiked 35% year-over-year, capturing 41% of the midsize off-road segment and closing the gap on longtime rival Jeep Wrangler. Enthusiasts at the event took notice—with many citing Bronco’s performance, customization options, and community spirit as the reasons they made the switch.
With plans already underway for 2026, one thing is clear: the Bronco Invasion isn’t just growing—it’s taking over.
