WHAT IS A NIGHT SHOW?
Night shows are the newest, most exciting frontier in the air show industry - a high energy, immersive experience that draws massive crowds, lights up social feeds, and leaves people talking long after the smoke clears. ​
​
We'll kick off the show with a performance by the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds, followed by a full twilight show with another incredible line-up of performers. It all builds to a fireworks and drone show finale, combining innovation and patriotism in a way only an air show can.​
TIMELINE OF EVENTS:
Gates will open at 2:30 p.m., giving guests time to explore aircraft displays, meet performers and enjoy on-site activities before the show begins. Flying will start at 5:30 p.m. with a full demonstration by the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds, followed by a series of golden-hour performances by another incredible lineup of civilian and military performers. As the sun sets, the event transitions into a night show, featuring illuminated aircraft performing alongside pyrotechnic effects. It all builds to a fireworks and drone show finale celebrating America’s 250th birthday.
