presented by Kuhltek Motorwerks
Back for 2026, the VW Revival will kick off the #SoCalVWweek! Our goal is simple, we want to "Revive a Classic VW Weekend in Southern California". We will start with a Cruise night on Friday evening, followed by the OCTO Bus show Saturday morning, the ISP West Open House Saturday afternoon, and finally ended off with the VW Revival Sunday morning! We have locked down a host hotel right next to Disneyland and with Blackstar and Prado the following week, this will be 10 days of non-stop VW greatness in Southern California. Make your vacation plans, book you tickets and get those VWs ready, this will be the one event you don't want to miss!
