Having been a veteran of many, many California based VW shows since
the late 70s, you will find most of them happening during the
springtime through late June.  The activity of California shows tends
to fall off through July and August with the Pacific Northwest and
other western states picking up the slack.  There is the Motherlode
show on July 30th in Angels Camp, CA, just east of Stockton, Pomona
Swap Meet was yesterday (7/17), but here will be another Pomona Swap
Meet on Aug 28th.  Labor Day Sunday  (9/5) has the Sacramento
Bug-O-Rama (unless you're into the "Burning Man" thing, then the
following weekend is the Jerome Jamboree in Central AZ.  It kinda
fizzles out after that with a Pomona here and there until Buses By The
Bridge in Lake Havasu, AZ in the middle of January.  Then in March it
starts all over again.

Note:  The Kelley Park Vintage VW Show in San Jose is put on in Mid
April by the Golden Gate Chapter of the VVWCA.  An excellent show to
attend!
