Pacific Airshow Huntington Beach, taking place from October 4 to October 6, 2024, will showcase a thrilling lineup of the world’s top military and civilian aviation performers at the nation’s largest airshow by attendance. This year introduces exciting new elements, bringing the action closer to the spectators than ever before.
Don't miss iconic performances from world-famous military teams, including the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds, F-22 Raptor Demo Team, A-10 Demo Team, and U.S. Marine Corps MV-22 Osprey Demo. Civilian performers such as the Ace Maker T-33 will also make an appearance. New additions to the show include the SOCOM Para-Commandos, Dawn Patrol RV Formation, California Air National Guard C-130J MAFFS Water Drop Demo, U.S. Air Force KC-135 Demo Team, and the T-38 Jets.
Attendees will have the exclusive opportunity to meet some of the pilots during performer signing sessions. Maverick and Iceman will also be available for photos throughout the weekend. Family-friendly activities include fun on the sand with LA Rugby, Anaheim Ducks, and Orange County Soccer, as well as interactive exhibits from the U.S. Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps.
For 2024, Pacific Airshow® is unveiling a world-first by creating a temporary designated landing area on the beach, allowing spectators an up-close view of the aircraft. The construction of this area is temporary and will leave no lasting impact on the beach environment.
To ensure a fantastic experience, show organizers recommend the following tips:
- Buy tickets early to secure the best viewing spots, gain access to family-friendly exhibits, licensed bars, and vendors.
- Check the full ticket options at pacificairshow.com.
- Arrive early and stay late to catch all performances from approximately 10:30 AM to 4:30 PM daily.
- Use alternative transportation like Uber, Lyft, shuttles, or bikes to avoid traffic, as Huntington Beach Police will be enforcing parking regulations.
- Stay hydrated and take advantage of the many food and beverage options available on-site—no need to bring bulky coolers.
- Protect yourself from the sun with sunscreen, hats, and umbrellas.
- Bring ear protection for children or noise-sensitive attendees.
- Leave drones at home—Pacific Airshow is a designated No Drone Zone.
- Pop-up tents are not permitted.
- Bring cameras and binoculars to capture the excitement.
- Arrive early for limited ADA pier seating.
