This is the destination event we’ve all been waiting for. Three full days of friends, community, and of course, pre-2000 Volkswagens. The days and nights cruising around town with majority of German cars on the streets, in parking lots, and at the gas stations. GTG’s popping up all over the place. Such a surreal experience to say the least. It’s been a while since some of us have been able to expierience those amazing times. Some even took a break assuming that “feeling” was gone.. Roots Classic  is about bringing that all back. 

A laid-back 3-day weekend to reunite friends and create ear-to-ear smiles. We will have get-togethers, BBQs, beach vibes, the iconic Wildwood boardwalk, and meetups throughout the weekend; all leading up to the main event—a finely curated indoor car show highlighting pre-2000 water-cooled and air-cooled VWs that have been pre-selected.

Indoors, we feature the smaller, community-driven brands with a handpicked lineup of vendors focused on pre-2000 designs. Bringing back that original organic car show feel. Outdoors, you’ll find more of a laid-back feel where we offer a wide range of vendors and the opportunity to show your car with open registration.

Pack the VW and bring the whole crew. Spend some time on the legendary Wildwood Boardwalk which is packed with good food, fun rides, water parks, nightclubs, and arcades for the whole family. Whether you’re a deep-rooted enthusiast, a die-hard purist, or just chasing good vibes, this is the event you don’t want to miss. Three days to make memories that will last a lifetime.
