Oktoberfast 2022

Oktoberfast is the signature, multi-day, multi-region event for the Silver Sage Region of the Porsche Club of America. It is sponsored by the Village at Meridian, Porsche Boise and the Silver Sage Region. The event includes a Kick-Off dinner on Friday night; a drive on Saturday morning; a winery tour also on Saturday morning; and culminates with the Porsche Car Show on Sunday from noon to 4:00pm. This year the dates are Friday September 30 thru Sunday October 2.

Oktoberfast’s popularity and participation continue to impress, thanks primarily to the efforts of all the participants, sponsors, and volunteers. Our venues include Big Al’s, local wineries, local highways, Porsche Boise and The Village at Meridian. As a weekend long event, we have been honored to have guests from several regions and excellent PCA participation. The show is open to all Porsches and non-PCA members are welcome.

This is the start of the Silver Sage Region PCA charity effort and our chosen charity this year is Camp Rainbow Gold. Camp Rainbow Gold will be presented at the dinner on Friday night and representatives will be in attendance at the show on Sunday. Proceeds from Oktoberfast, our annual Big O Tire raffle and day of event Village at Meridian gift card raffles will go to the charity.

The show starts at noon and is over by 4:00PM with awards and prizes announced at 3:30PM in a ceremony at the stage. Activities for participants include judging their favorite cars, a poker walk, shopping and dining. There are many great stores and restaurants at the Village.
