VW Bus Festival 2023

The 2007 VW Bus Festival with tens of thousands of Bulli fans is still considered the highlight of the VW Bus events. A hitherto unique event in terms of shape and size. In 2023, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles will pick up exactly there. Current and historic VW bus models are equally welcome - from the T1 and all its successors to the new Multivan with plug-in hybrid drive and the all-new ID. buzz

“This coexistence of the most diverse Bulli models from all eras is the soul of the community. We are delighted that the automotive phenomenon, which is unique in this form worldwide, will once again have its very own stage in 16, 2023 years after the last festival,” says Lars Krause, Member of the Board of Management of Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles for Sales and Marketing.

Bulli Clubs had the opportunity to register large groups directly in advance. VWN had called for this in a press release and on social media. "The response from the club community was overwhelming," explains Stefan Pfeiffer, Head of Marketing at VWN. After just a few days, the organizational team received many more inquiries than there were spaces available in the club area. If you don't get a place in the club area, you can of course take part through individual sales. "Sufficient tickets are available for the other parking areas at the start of sales," says Pfeiffer.

Parallel to the start of ticket sales, VWN is informing Bulli fans worldwide about the festival. Fans will be informed about the start of advance sales on the brand's official social media channels. The official festival stickers are very popular with Bulli drivers at classic car meetings and selected motor shows – and they are stuck directly onto their own VW bus. Photo credit: Volkswagen (VW)
