Air shows are large events, so please be aware that traffic may be heavy getting in and out from the show parking areas. Airshow parking has been expanded onsite.
In the event the airshow parking is full, shuttle buses will provide rides from the Fuller Industries parking lot to the airshow entrance gate on both Saturday and Sunday. No shuttle service will be provided on Friday.
Please follow signs and volunteers as you enter the air show. Traffic may be routed certain ways to accommodate the large volume of air show visitors and/or due to road closures.
Parking will be monitored by law enforcement agencies.
There will be a dedicated parking area for motorcycles.
There will be a dedicated parking area for RV’s – however, no hook-ups are available.
Pets are NOT allowed inside the airshow gate, and should NOT be left in vehicles. Because of the festival setting with food and beverage vendors, the Health Department prohibits animals. Please also understand that temperatures on the tarmac area can easily reach over 100 degrees and will burn your pet’s feet. The loud noises of the planes and pyrotechnics can injure their sensitive hearing and/or frighten your animal. Please leave your pets at home where they are safe.
