Eddy And Dave's Garage Swap Meet | 2026 | Orange, CA
The Eddy and Dave's Garage Swap Meet is back as part of the SoCal Volkswagen Weekend, bringing a classic VW vibe to Orange County for 2026!
This laid-back evening gathering blends vintage VW culture with casual community connection, giving enthusiasts a chance to catch up, shop for parts, and enjoy the unique charm of one of Orange County’s most well-known VW garages.
Expect a mix of Volkswagen enthusiasts exploring the garage and surrounding area, checking out current projects, browsing rare parts, and mingling with fellow collectors. The atmosphere has a homegrown, hands-on feel, with plenty of opportunity for casual conversation and showing off vehicles in progress. Whether you’re looking for project inspiration, a deal on a rare part, or just a VW-friendly environment, the meetup delivers.
Hosted by Eddy and Dave, the garage has become a hub for VW enthusiasts in Southern California. Participants and visitors can walk through the working shops, meet the mechanics and collectors, and get a first-hand look at ongoing restoration projects. This is a recurring gathering, so attendees may want to check the official Eddy and Dave’s Garage social media pages for any updates on timing or special activities during the Volkswagen SoCal Weekend.
Located in Orange, this garage setting gives the event a cozy, local feel while still drawing VW fans from across the county. Expect everything from classic Beetles and buses to Type 3s, Karmann Ghias, and rare VWs under restoration. The event offers a chance to connect directly with the Orange County VW community in a casual, insider-style setting that larger events often lack.
The Eddy and Dave's Garage Swap Meet is perfect for VW fans who enjoy hands-on, casual gatherings. Stop by, explore the shops, discover hidden parts, and soak in the community-focused vibe that makes this meetup a staple of SoCal VW culture.
