Kombi Fest

Old Bar Beach Festival have been hosting Kombi Fest for more than 20 years. The event is part of Old Bar Beach Festival, held every October long weekend in the seaside village of Old Bar. About 30,000 people attend this event and Kombi Fest is a big drawcard.

Kombi Fest includes a Parade on Saturday and an attempt to break our Australian record of the most Kombis in the same place on Sunday. By Kombi’s we mean any VW in the light commercial range from a T2 Splitty to an ID Buzz. Of course, we’ll make space for Beetles, Ghias and other classic VWs, plus all classics are welcome to join “Old Bar Classic" on Saturday.
