Site Summary:

Volksblast is held in the heart of downtown South Miami. South Miami is a great venue for this show and the city has been very accommodating and exited to have us return.
 This is a GREAT event to bring the wife/kids and pets to.  There is shopping for the ladies, plenty of places to eat for all budgets, and even some 'extracurricular' activity on site from mild (Gameworks) to wild (inquire). This will be our 10th year and looks to be THE BEST YET, with coverage from HOT VW's magazine and international visitors from all over the country/world.
If you have been to past Volksblasts you know what to expect, and won't be disappointed.  We will again have live music, a DJ and various other entertainment for all ages.  The show, settled in the heart of Miami is sure to be a change of pace for most people from anywhere but here!

Accommodations:
Miami is a crazy place. If you are coming to town you will want a place as close to zip 33143 as possible.  Miami is not a cheap place to vista (or live!) so get your arrangements early for the best deal!.  The Quality Im below is down the street and has nice rooms in a decent area listed online for $120. Its not cheap, but nowhere in Miami is. Feb is a busy tourism month and its hard to find good deals on rooms, shack up with a couple (dozen) buddies for the best deal!
