Idaho Air is the largest air-cooled Porsche event in the Northwest. One Saturday morning each spring, the finest 356s, early 911s, 912s, 930s, and 914s in the region gather in the Treasure Valley — with coffee, food, live music, and the people who keep these cars alive. Free for everyone to attend.

The modern Porsches and exotics get their own field. Right next to the main show, a dedicated area for water-cooled Porsches, supercars, and everything else worth a walk-by. It filled up fast in 2026, so it’s back — and bigger — for 2027.

Free — no sign-up needed

Modern Porsches, exotics, and supercars get their own dedicated field right next to the main show — no cost and no sign-up, just drive in. Spectator parking for all other vehicles is nearby.

Optional pre-lineup begins at 8:30 AM. Official load-in starts at 9:00 AM. Arrive early for smooth parking and placement.

Will food and drinks be available?
