Next Event: 28 November 2026. Annual Lights For Life Run: The Ultimate Old School VW Night Convoy

Get those air-cooled engines ready because our biggest year-end tradition is locked in for Saturday, 28 November 2026. Whether you roll in a classic Beetle, a vintage Kombi, a cool Beach Buggy, a rare Karmann Ghia, an awesome Trike, a Baja Bug, or any unique, special, out-of-the-box ride, this night run is for you. We are pushing the schedule 30 minutes later this year so it is properly dark when we light up the streets of Cape Town.

The Plan for the Night

• Meetup Time: Gather from 7:30 PM at Food Lovers Market N1 City.
• Rollout Time: Rolling out at 8:00 PM sharp.
• The Route: We cruise through the city down to Camps Bay and Green Point, where we will park off for an hour to check out the rides and catch up.
• The Final Leg: From Green Point, the run continues to Bloubergstrand for those who want to keep the wheels rolling and grab some pizza. (Staying in Green Point for the park-off is also totally fine!)

Get Your Lights Ready

Get your Christmas lights ready, wire them up to your car, polish up that chrome, and tell all your VW family to join us for a glowing convoy spectacle.

See you at the start line.

No tickets. No registrations. No RSVPs. No fees.
If your ride is air-cooled, old school, a beach buggy, or a Baja bug, you’re in. Just rock up to the starting point and join the convoy!

The Golden Rules of the Run

1. Arrive Fuelled Up: Always arrive with a completely full tank of fuel before departure so we don’t have to break the convoy for unexpected petrol stops.
2. “Follow” the Car Behind You: Your main job is to keep the vehicle behind you in sight. If they fall back, you must slow down too. The speed of the lead car is entirely determined by the slowest car at the back of the pack.
3. Never Abandon a Turnoff: If the convoy turns onto a new road and the vehicle behind you hasn’t caught up yet, stop and wait at the turnoff until they see you and make the turn. They will then do the same for the person behind them.
4. No Member Left Behind: If the car behind you disappears or pulls over, stop safely and help us find out why. If they have a breakdown, the whole club is there to back them up.

Don’t just watch from the sidelines. Whether you cruise in a custom beach buggy, a rugged Baja Bug, or a classic VW Beetle, you just need to bring your air-cooled VW (or your water-cooled conversion!) out and join the convoy.

Stop Dreaming, Drive with the Wild Buggers!

28 November 2026 – Lights For Life Run

6 December 2026 – Lerene’s Animal Run

Next Camp: 18 to 20 September 2027 (Third Weekend of September). Wild Buggers Bloom and Beach Camp.

Spring is calling and whether you drive a beach buggy, classic VW Beetle, Baja Bug, or any old-school air-cooled ride, you are more than welcome to join the convoy.

We are setting up base camp at the popular Yzerfontein Campsite. Check out our campsite layout map in the poster gallery so you can see the layout of the park and choose where you would like to set up. Some of our members also take chalets, so whether you prefer pitching a tent under the stars, hooking up the caravan, or taking the easy route with a room, whatever suits your style. To reserve your camping space, drop an email to yzftnpark@swartland.org.za to request your booking form. Things kick off on Friday night with a traditional, laid-back braai around the fire.

On Saturday morning, we are firing up our motors for a quick 25km scenic cruise straight through to the famous Darling Wildflower Show. Thanks to a special invite from the organizers, our club has scored exclusive VIP parking right inside the grounds as part of their motor show display, plus free entry for the driver and a passenger! Spend the day exploring the incredible landscaped indoor floral halls, craft and gourmet food markets, local wines, and heritage tractor rides into restricted wetlands. Sun, sand, flowers, and serious horsepower. The Wild Buggers are ready for an epic weekend at our Bloom and Beach Camp! Join us in Yzerfontein for some coastal cruising and a VIP trip to the Darling Wildflower Show.

Head back to Yzerfontein on Saturday evening to keep the camp vibes rolling, with the option to cruise back out to the show again on Sunday if you want a double dose of the West Coast spring.
