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 an epic fireworks and drone show finale celebrating America’s 250th birthday. We hope to wrap the show by 9:30 p.m. ​
