About This Event
Florida Bug Jam brings a weekend of Volkswagen-focused activities to the Pasco County Fairgrounds in Dade City, Florida, Nov. 7–8, 2026. The event marks 38 years of celebrating Volkswagen vehicles and culture.
More than 700 show vehicles and over 10,000 spectators attended the previous year, and the gathering has grown into the largest Volkswagen car show in the Southeast. The show features classic, custom, restored and one-of-a-kind Volkswagens, from Beetles and Buses to Ghias and Things.
A swap meet and vendor area with more than 150 vendors offers new and used VW parts, collectibles, accessories, memorabilia and Volkswagen-inspired merchandise. A car stereo contest, live music throughout the weekend and a lineup of food vendors round out the schedule.
The 2026 theme is Florida Tourism. Attendees are invited to wear Florida tourist attire such as Hawaiian shirts, tropical prints, beach hats and sunglasses, and some Volkswagens may receive the same treatment.
