Volkswagen Beetle and Bug enthusiasts, come and experience an extraordinary atmosphere on Sunday, February 15, 2026, at the Esplanade of the Cinquantenaire in front of the Autoworld Museum, where more than 250 of these charming cars will be gathered.

You will be able to stroll freely among the cars, some very old, always colorful, and sometimes decorated in unique ways.

The cars will start arriving from 10 a.m., giving you the chance to chat with their owners and share memories and anecdotes.

When the cars set off on their drive at 2 p.m., you will surely be carried away by the joyful atmosphere, with honking horns and cheers. This year’s route will take participants all the way to the medieval Château of Beersel.

Once the cars have departed, while waiting for their return, you can visit Autoworld and admire its permanent collection as well as its temporary exhibition :  'Mercedes - the Story of The Star' (paid admission – free for children under 6).

As it is carnival weekend, this year’s theme is the Beetle. We invite everyone – participants and visitors alike, adults and children – to come dressed as a Beetle. A face painter will be present from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. to paint little faces with designs inspired by ladybugs.
