Kick off the 2027 weekend.

Bring your car. Grab a drink. Talk Porsche. A relaxed Friday evening at Park Place LTD to open the Idaho Air weekend, with full details to come.

A relaxed start to the Idaho Air weekend. The 2026 Kick-Off set the tone: good cars, a drink in hand, and an evening of Porsche talk. We’re planning the same easygoing night for Friday, April 30, 2027.

Confirmed: we’re back at Park Place LTD in Boise, with Whitney Fredin Events catering again, on Friday, April 30, 2027 from 5:00–7:30 PM. The program and tickets are still to come — we’ll post them here.

Nathan Merz beside a Porsche

Porsche stories & good company.

The 2026 program featured Nathan Merz, conversations around special cars in the showroom, and a lively Q&A. That mix of shared knowledge and time together is the inspiration for the 2027 evening.

We hope to include another casual walk & talk around the lot, with a chance to discover the cars guests bring.

From the 2026 program

Nathan Merz in 2026.

Nathan brought his knowledge of classic Porsches to the 2026 gathering, with showroom discussions and questions from fellow enthusiasts. We’d love to build on that experience in 2027; his participation isn’t confirmed yet.
