Car enthusiasts, mark the date for the upcoming 2024 Eureka Springs VW Show and the Ozark Euro Rally, scheduled for August 23rd, 24th, and 25th, 2024. These two popular events fill Eureka Springs with sparkling, classic cars and a fun weekend of tourcades, car shows, food, drink, and fun.
The 2024 Eureka Springs VW Show marks the 32nd return of what has become a beloved Eureka Springs tradition since 1992. The annual, 3-day event includes lots of fun for gear heads, whether you’re showing off your own car or are just here to admire others.
Volkswagen Weekend events include car judging, awards, and, most popular, a parade through downtown Eureka Springs. If you missed Mardi Gras, the annual Volkswagen parade will make up for it with wildly decorated VW’s, honking, music, and even “throws” of candy, colored beads, and other goodies.
Do you own a VW? Be sure to stop by the VW parts swap meet for a chance to collect regulation, as well as unique and hard-to-find, car parts and accessories. Attendees can also enjoy a pulled pork BBQ, a cocktail party with live music, and a VW Tourcade.
The concurrent Ozark Euro Rally, scheduled for August 24th, 2024, is held at The Great Passion Play. This show is open to all types of German cars, including classic, new, and custom vehicles. The free show includes judging, trophies, raffles, and local food trucks. Attendees are also invited to participate in a Friday night scavenger hunt at downtown businesses as well as a pre-party. Fans of fine and beautiful motorworks will not want to miss out.
Best of all, both shows are just minutes from your room at our Eureka Springs bed and breakfast, 5 Ojo!
