Permit delay cancels ‘Dream Machines’ show; other San Mateo County events in jeopardy

An annual fundraiser event that showcases various aircraft, cars and other vehicles in San Mateo County will not be held this year. The Pacific Coast Dream Machines event was canceled by organizers on Monday because of delays in obtaining permits from the Federal Aviation Administration.

“With a heavy heart we must inform you that our beloved Pacific Coast Dream Machines Event will not be moving forward this year,” said the event’s organizers, which include the board for Coastside Adult Day Health Center and Miramar Events. “After seven months of pre-planning, we must cancel the event due to aberrant delays in the permitting process with the FAA. We are no longer able to continue moving forward for a 2024 event at the Half Moon Bay Airport.”
