It’s only fitting that the world’s largest truck stop has one of the biggest and best truck shows.
Each year, thousands of people flock to the Iowa 80 Trucker Jamboree.
The Trucker Jamboree is held at the Iowa 80 truck top on I-80, exit 284 in Walcott, Iowa.
The annual Trucker Jamboree began in 1979. This year marks the 35th anniversary. The event was established to celebrate truck drivers and trucks. “It’s our way of saying thank you to the millions of truck drivers that deliver the goods we consume, whether it’s groceries, gas, clothes or cars– you can bet it was delivered by a truck,” Iowa 80 said.

- Antique Truck Display
- Super Truck Beauty Contest
- Over 175 exhibits
- Iowa Pork Chop Cookout
- Carnival Games
