Not sure about being the best but it may be the biggest in the world.
Busfest in Great Malvern England.

Been a few times , over 8000 vw buses show up from Split buses to T6 Transpoters.

The parking lots where day visitors park usually has a few hundred VWs .

It happens every year in September https://www.busfest.org/busfest/

This for sure is a good US on. But I think VolsWorld show in the UK is quite the spectacle.

Hessisch Oldendorf is the best in my opinion. Worth the 4 year wait.

I totally agree with the previous gent! Hessisch-Oldendorf is the best one that I've ever attended (three times now!). If I was only allowed out to attend one VW show, it would be the H-O weekend... the Bad Camberg weekend would be a close second choice.

I'd take into consideration the duration of "the show".
If traveling far, I'd recommend looking for the most bang for your buck$.
SoCal in June would be my pick.
Starting with OCTO on Sat. June 1st, Pomona AND Bug-In on Sun. the 2nd. With a week of cruises, BBQ's, Open Houses and hanging, there is so much to do! There's camping at Blackstar then topping it all off with the El Prado Show and Shine on June 9th it's hard to beat all that VW action that happens in that time frame.

That being said, Hessisch Oldendorf IS on my "must do" list.

I’ll be going to the Lakeland FL Classic this March.
Maybe not the Biggest in the World but this year all the Herbies will be there.

Assuming that the pandemic subsides a bit and allows us to, we are preparing for a "three-VW weekends-in-a-row" VW adventure in June:

the Wanroj VW show weekend in the Netherlands, then the incredible and frankly incomparable Hessisch-Oldendorf Vintage VW Treffen weekend in Germany, then the "wild and wooly" European Bug-In weekend in Chimay, Belgium. Then when I get home I can then sleep it all off for the rest of the year!

Stay warm, happy and healthy! Get your shots...

I can attest to that. I think I was there in 2017. It was a blast!

Yep! The Grundmann's, their volunteer staff and the townsfolk of Hessisch-Oldendorf are the best and most gracious hosts! What a great time we had in June!!! Thanks for a wonderful weekend!

Maybe not the biggest, but I'd also have to say that HO in Germany has got to be the best.

I have been to Chateau d'Oex a few times and it was pretty cool. I think it is every two years.
