20th Annual VWs in the Valley

Saturday, July 26, 2025

10 am to 3 PM at the Fargo-Moorhead Visitors Center: Fargo, ND.

We can’t believe it’s been 20 years since our first show took place in June of 2006. We plan to celebrate in a big way with our 20th show this July! The 20th Annual Volkswagens in the Valley Car Show is shaping up to be our largest show ever!

Hot VWs magazine will be there taking photos for an article on the club, so make sure to have your VWs projects ready. The last time Hot VWs was at our show, it resulted in some individual photo shoots for feature articles on cars owned by club members.

WHAT TO EXPECT

–Food, games, and fun for the whole family
–Silent auction
–Raffle (3 prizes… top prize is a 1973 VW Bug!)
–Awards for top 10 and a few silly/fun ones
–Coverage by Hot VWs Magazine

PRE-REGISTER YOUR CARS!

Make the show day simpler by registering now. Register as many cars as you plan to bring for $15 each. On the day of the show, just pick up your pre-filled registration card and swag bag at the registration table! Prices will go up on the day of the show to $20.

RAFFLE TICKETS NOW AVAILABLE

You must be present to win a raffle or have a designated person who can take the prize home for you that day. For the Beetle, YOU must be there and prove that you’re 18+ with a valid license.

First Prize: 1973 standard VW Beetle.  It is complete, runs and drives, and looks pretty nice cosmetically. The car is not in show-winning restored condition nor is it a beater. Basic specs: 1600 cc motor; 4-speed manual trans; tomato-red/orange color.

Second Prize: 34 Pict Solex carburetor expertly restored by Volksbitz of Washington, USA

Third Prize: Gift cards for VW parts and services; details in the works but will be a value of around $100! 

ACCOMMODATIONS AND MORE

We do NOT have any rooms blocked for our show this year. This is because the price they wanted to give us on the room blocks was noticeably more than the price you’ll pay booking separately. Please consider the Staybridge, one of our show sponsors. It’s only a block or two from the show. Other places very near the show that our attendees have liked include the C’Mon Inn and the Mainstays Suites. Book as soon as you can; it’s traditionally a busy weekend in Fargo. There is semi-adequate trailer parking on the street and/or in adjacent lots around these hotels. We will also have access to much more trailer parking from a business about a block from the show grounds.
