🌴 VDUBs in the Village


Capitola Village, CA

Saturday • May 30th, 2026

Mark your calendars!


🕛 Registration opens Saturday, March 21st at 12 noon


We’re doing things a little different than Wharf Invasion.


“VDUBs in the Village” is all about a chill beach-day vibe. Think laid-back hangout meets classic VW car meet. Park your VW in one of the coolest beachside locations alongside 200+ other VWs. Bring the family. Hang with friends.


Capitola Village is packed with restaurants, sweets, and shopping — all just steps from the sand.


🎶 Live music throughout the day

👕 Limited event shirts will be available


We are not planning to present awards at this event.

If trophies are your thing, be sure to register for Wharf Invasion later this year.
