Ticketed beach venue and hospitality; check site
By Simir Shah
This three-day show over the ocean by the pier hosts military jet teams. The 2026 10th-anniversary edition featured the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds, Canadian Snowbirds, RAF Falcons and NASA aircraft, with more than five hours of flying each day. The event also runs NXTGN STEM Lab activities aimed at kids. It's often hot and very loud, so bring ear protection for little ones.
