Probably the world's largest "May Beetle Meeting" has traditionally been held in Hanover on May 1 since 1983. For lovers of air-cooled Volkswagen technology, this event is a must: scene connoisseurs and Beetle fans meet on May Day to take a look at thousands of Beetles, Bullis, Type 3, Type 4, Type 181, Karmann Ghia, Fridolin and other Volkswagen classics on the exhibition grounds.
Enthusiasts of air-cooled VWs will present their vehicles at the meeting. At an adjacent market, private individuals and dealers sell new and used parts as well as fan merchandise.
After the original venue in the Altwarmbüchen district of Isernhagen became too small for the more than 3,000 vehicles that regularly attend, it has since been held in the west parking lot of the Hanover exhibition grounds. In 2019, the event had 15,000 visitors.
