Welcome to the World’s Largest Porsche-Only Swap Meet

• Nearly 650 vendors! • Around 1,000 Porsches!
• Over 6,000 Porsche fans from all over the world!

The Central PA Region of the Porsche Club of America is once again bringing its world-famous Porsche-Only Swap Meet to Carlisle Fairgrounds, Carlisle Pennsylvania, on Saturday, May 1st 2021. This is without exaggeration the largest event of its kind on the planet. It typically brings nearly 650 vendors, around 1,000 Porsches, and over 6,000 visitors from all over the world together every year. If you’re seeking an obscure Porsche or an obscure part for your Porsche, this is your best chance to find it. Every dealer and Porsche packrat in a 250-mile radius will be bringing their odds and ends for sale or swap. You’ll see exotic Porsches found nowhere this side of Stuttgart, and Porsche personalities ranging from PCA muckety-mucks to (sometimes) celebrities like Jerry Seinfeld. As always, we’ll feature a People’s Choice Concours, too!

People’s Choice Concours

This event is designed as a People’s Choice. Voting ballots for Swap attendees will be available at the “People’s Choice” headquarters at the head of the Concours parking area. The ballot instructs voters to select their favorite participating Porsche, in each of seven Award Categories, from those vehicles registering for the event. All Porsches driven to the Swap and parked in the Concours parking area are eligible for this event. Each participating vehicle will be assigned an ID# and corresponding colored placard when registering. The ID placard is to be placed on the windshield. Voters will enter the ID#s on their ballot, sign and return the ballot to the registration table. Trophies will be presented to the vehicles receiving the 1st, 2nd and 3rd most votes in each Award Category. A People’s Choice trophy will be awarded to the vehicle receiving the most votes overall and is not a previous winner. In the case of a tie, the vehicle with the oldest VIN receives the award. In addition to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place awards, we will also recognize the Porsche travelling the furthest distance to participate in the Concours. Voting begins at 10:00, ends at noon and trophies to be presented at 1pm. A $10.00 entry fee is to be paid when registering. It’s that easy. Winners receive trophies and an assortment of swag!
