Here's an updated the link to the show: http://nycvolkswagentrafficjam.com/

Pre-registration is required to enter your VW in the show and bring it onto the island but anyone can attend the show as a spectator via the free ferry boats. This show is very unique and has become one of my favorites given the awesome surroundings and relaxed hang out vibe. Bring the family, eat a nice picnic lunch, and check out the show and all Governors Island has to offer for the afternoon. You won't be disappointed.

CJVWS is having a group caravan into NYC from the Basking Ridge area that morning, so anyone traveling along that route at about 7:00 am or so that wants to join us PM me for more details.

Friends,
Does the NYC show draw many spectators? I'm thinking about becoming a vendor, and trying to decide if it's worth the 6 hour car trip.
Thanks!

The traffic jam draws lots of people from NYC. The pedestrian ferry ride is free from the City and it's a great escape place. Your Volkswagen-oriented buyers will be limited to the show cars and their friends mostly, but lots of people walk thru the show. I don't know anything about vendors at the show.

I didn't get many pictures but there are a bunch posted on their FB page if you have an account: https://www.facebook.com/VWJam/

Thanks to Julio and everyone involved in making this event happen. Definitely one of my favorites and my whole family looks forward to it each year.
