FAQs

What if I register a display car but later can’t attend?

Because display spots are limited and carefully planned, display vehicle registrations are non-refundable. If your plans change, we’re happy to help you transfer your registration to another eligible air-cooled Porsche owner with prior approval, subject to availability and verification.

What time should registered cars arrive?

Optional pre-lineup begins at 7:30 AM. Official load-in starts at 8:00 AM. We recommend arriving early to ensure smooth parking and placement.

Can I leave early once parked?
For safety and event flow, display vehicles are expected to remain parked until the event concludes at 12:00 PM unless otherwise directed by staff.

Are pets allowed?
Friendly, leashed pets are welcome. Please be mindful of vehicles, crowds, and other attendees.

Will food and drinks be available?
Yes. Local food trucks, coffee, and beverages will be available throughout the event.

What happens if the event is full?
If registration is full, you can join the waitlist. If spots open up, waitlisted participants will be contacted in order.

Can I bring a water-cooled Porsche to display at the event?

Display parking is limited to air-cooled Porsches only. That said, the event is open to everyone, and all enthusiasts are welcome to attend. There is nearby parking outside the display area for water-cooled Porsches, other vehicles, and SUVs, so you’re absolutely welcome to join us even if you’re not displaying an air-cooled car. Only air-cooled Porsches are eligible for display, including 356, early 911, 912, 930 and 914 models.

Will limited-edition posters and T-shirts be available for pre-sale or reservation?

Limited-edition posters and T-shirts will be available for purchase on-site only during the event, while supplies last. We won’t be offering pre-sales or reservations. Both credit cards and cash will be accepted at the event.

Is this a free event to attend?

Yes! Idaho Air & Coffee is free for spectators. Registration is only required if you plan to display an air-cooled Porsche.

What happens if I want to display, but the event is full?

If registration is full, you can join the waitlist. If spots open up, waitlisted participants will be contacted in order.

Pets allowed in the display area?

Friendly, leashed pets are welcome. Please be mindful of vehicles, crowds, and other attendees.

Can I leave early after I am parked?

We wished you wouldn't. For safety and event flow, we encourage display vehicles to remain parked until the event concludes at 12:00 PM but we understand sometimes things come up.
