The first "California Festival" will take place on October 2 and 3 in Lacanau.
Boosted by the health context, the van is the new star for holidaymakers. But if some are just discovering it, it has had followers for decades. The Combi, the most emblematic van, clearly at the origin of a lifestyle, was born in 1947! With him, and his descendants, generations have been able to discover the world in a free and economical way.
In the 1980s, the Combi became California, a name still used today for a complete range. And it is this name that is used to baptize the first festival organized by Volkswagen dedicated to the "van life" in France. This gathering will take place on October 2 and 3 in Lacanau, a bastion of van enthusiasts. In the words of the brand, participants will find themselves isolated from the world, in the heart of a Landes pine forest, in a place truly designed for escape.
Volkswagen promises a rich program, with "adventure" and nautical activities for children and adults or even a Synapson concert. There will also be the election of the most beautiful van, the exhibition of brand new products (including the new Caddy California), stands to provide accessories and spare parts...
More than 300 vans are expected. However, the number of places will be limited. Opening of registrations on a dedicated site from the end of June.
