Porsche enthusiasts across the United States will gather in Southern California this April for one of the most anticipated single-brand automotive events of the year. The Air Water show returns on April 25, 2026, bringing together classic icons, modern performance models, and rare collector cars in one immersive experience.
Hosted at the OC Fair and Event Center in Costa Mesa, the event welcomes every type of Porsche owner and fan, from vintage collectors to first-time enthusiasts.
A Porsche Event For Everyone
Air Water was created to celebrate the full spectrum of Porsche history. Unlike traditional shows that focus on specific eras, this gathering showcases everything from early classics to the newest models.
Visitors can expect:
-
Historic and modern Porsche vehicles
-
Street and race cars
-
Indoor and outdoor exhibits
-
Rare collector models
-
Interactive displays
Previous editions featured more than 1,000 cars and attracted enthusiasts from across the country, making it one of the fastest-growing Porsche festivals in North America.
Major Celebrations In 2026
The 2026 edition highlights several important milestones in Porsche history, giving visitors a deeper look into the brand’s heritage and innovation.
Key themes include:
-
75 years of Porsche Motorsport
-
60 years of GTP racing
-
90th birthday of Butzi Porsche
-
Special displays of GT models
These curated exhibits help visitors understand how Porsche evolved from early engineering experiments into a global performance icon.
Rare Cars And Exclusive Auctions
Collectors and investors will find special value at the live Porsche auction held during the event. Exceptional vehicles are expected to cross the auction block, including rare racing models and limited-production examples.
This makes Air Water more than a car show. It is a unique opportunity to see some of the most desirable Porsche models ever built in one location.
Why Air Water Is Growing Fast
Air Water was created by the team behind the well-known Luftgekühlt gatherings and quickly gained popularity by welcoming both air-cooled and water-cooled Porsche models.
That inclusive approach has helped the event expand into a full lifestyle experience with exhibitors, automotive art, rare parts, and enthusiast-focused activities.
For American Porsche fans, Air Water delivers one of the most complete brand experiences available today, combining history, performance, and collector culture in a single event.
