Hello VW Friends, Community Partners, and Road Trip Enthusiasts!
We’re excited to announce the 2026 Texas European Vacation VW Road Trip, happening Spring Break 2026, March 16–20 — and we’d love for you to be part of the journey.
We are a group of classic Volkswagen Beetles and Buses traveling across Texas, visiting as many Texas cities with twin cities in Europe as we possibly can. It’s a rolling celebration of Volkswagen culture, travel, history, and community, all experienced from behind the wheel of some of the most iconic vehicles ever built.
This will be our third annual Spring Break VW road trip, and each year has grown bigger, louder, and more memorable:
Spring Break 2025: More than 30 classic Volkswagens departed Laredo on the El Camino Real de los Tejas VW Road Trip, completing the journey in San Augustine.
Spring Break 2024: We traveled US Route 67 from Texarkana to Presidio on the US Route 67 VW Road Trip, a journey that was featured in the June 2024 issue of Texas Monthly and on the VW LIFE YouTube channel.
In 2026, we’re taking things even further — connecting Texas towns with their European namesakes, turning highways into storylines, and bringing attention, energy, and visitors to the communities we pass through.
Expect:
A caravan of vintage Volkswagens cruising Texas backroads
Unique photo opportunities and local engagement
Media-friendly visuals and human-interest stories
A passionate, respectful group of drivers who love history, travel, and classic VWs
Whether you’re a city representative, media outlet, sponsor, VW enthusiast, or supporter, this road trip is about celebrating connections — between places, people, and cultures — one mile at a time.
More route details and participation opportunities will be announced soon. Until then, mark your calendar and help us spread the word.
Texas roads. European ties. Classic Volkswagens.
Let’s roll.
