But here’s the best part: it’s an event for everyone! Whether you’re a proud VW owner or simply a curious enthusiast, this event promises a fantastic day out. Let’s explore why Bayfield Volkfest is an inclusive and fun experience for all.

Can I Come Even if I Don’t Own a VW? Absolutely! One of the most common misconceptions is that Bayfield Volkfest is exclusively for VW owners. Well, let’s set the record straight – this event is open to all, regardless of whether you own a VW or not. It’s a gathering of kindred spirits who share a passion for all things VW. So, if you’ve ever admired the timeless charm of a VW bus or the iconic silhouette of a Beetle, this event is your golden ticket to immerse yourself in the world of vintage VWs.
