Organised by the team behind the hugely popular Luftgekühlt Porsche events, Air|Water is an annual gathering for Porsche enthusiasts, returning on April 26, 2025 at the Orange County Fair & Event Center in Costa Mesa, California.

Air|Water was founded by Jeff Zwart and former Porsche Works driver Patrick Long to embrace the broader Porsche community – recognising that passion for the marque extends beyond just air-cooled models.

Launched in 2023, Air|Water was initially held as part of Luftgekühlt, providing a day dedicated to models from across the storied history of Porsche from diesel-powered tractors of the 1950s to the hybrid-powered machines of the modern era. Such was its success that Air|Water then became a stand-alone event in 2024. 

For 2025, around 1000 examples are expected to be curated for display across six exhibition halls in a celebration of race, street, vintage and contemporary Porsches. The show schedule is expected to be revealed in the coming weeks. In addition to the displays, visitors can look forward to rally and off-road cars taking on the Action Sports Arena, while those in search of their next Porsche will find plenty of options at Broad Arrow’s auction in The Hangar. An exhibitor hall will also cater to every Porsche enthusiast’s needs.

General admission is from 9:00am to 3:00pm PT, and tickets are available to purchase here. For more information about Air|Water and Luftgekühlt, click here
