Prepare for Your Visit
Quick Tips for a Great Day
Sunscreen is essential! Even if it's foggy, UV rays can be strong.
Dress in layers. Coastal weather can change quickly from cool mornings to warmer afternoons.
Wear comfortable shoes. You'll be doing a lot of walking on varied terrain.
Expect traffic. Plan your route and allow extra travel time, especially on Highway 1.
Parking info: Check the event details for designated parking areas and potential fees. Carpooling is encouraged!
Be patient. Crowds and lines are possible, especially during peak hours.
Bring cash. While some vendors take cards, cash is often faster and sometimes required.
Stay hydrated. Bring a refillable water bottle (check rules) or purchase drinks onsite.
Ear protection (optional): Consider earplugs if sensitive to loud engine noises.
Camera: Capture the amazing machines!
Check prohibited items: Review the official event rules for items not allowed (e.g., drones, large coolers, pets - service animals usually permitted).
Follow instructions: Listen to event staff and security for safety and guidance.
Look but don't touch (unless invited): Respect the vehicles and aircraft on display.
