Florida Bug Jam, Dade City

The German car brand, Volkswagen, translates literally to "the people's car." At the Florida Bug Jam this name rings true, as scores of Volkswagen car-enthusiasts turn out for the two-day outdoor event. Here, guests are invited to guzzle down local craft beers and sample sizzling street food while touring around the massive auto show.

The jam invites car-owners to show off their stuff in a town-wide parade and off-road courses. A massive auto swap gives collectors the chance to find rare VW parts. To round out the celebration, guests can rock out to live performances from blues rockers and a Jimmy Buffet cover band.
