Texas BusFest is a weekend VW bus show and campout event, originally called “Transporters at the Point by local resident, Paul Smith. He initiated the weekend to fundraise for Morgan’s Point Resort Police Department. In 2012, Paul retired his event, however the City of Morgan’s Point Resort has graciously allowed us to continue to gather under the new name, “Texas BusFest”. This year marks our 19th year of continuing the tradition of fundraising for the Morgan’s Point Resort Police Department.
After having an online event in 2020, Texas BusFest returned in 2021! Our event drew over 50 VW Buses and over 100 camping participants. Beyond returning to camping amongst friends and fellow bus pilots, Texas BusFest raised $4200 for the Morgan’s Point Resort Police Department.
