Greetings!

Rumors are going around that this year’s California Capital Airshow will be a Night Show. Please allow us this opportunity to clear up any confusion.

Based on overwhelming demand, we are bringing back the Night Show to celebrate America’s 250th Birthday in the BIGGEST, BRIGHTEST & LOUDEST way possible!

This October 10-11 (Saturday and Sunday) will blow your mind, literally. And because we’re moving to a fall Airshow, the days and nights are cooler.

The United States Air Force Thunderbirds are headlining this year’s 20th Anniversary Airshow. Plus, the Royal Canadian Air Force’s Snowbirds. That means you’re getting two world-famous, national demonstration teams at the 2026 California Capital Airshow.

Think of this year’s show as the best of all worlds. You get to see some of the best pilots in the world fly during the day, dusk, and night. All topped off with a jaw-dropping pyro-musical fireworks display.

Parking gates open at 12:00 pm each day. That means extra time to experience the ground show. Inside the Airshow gates, you will enjoy miles of fascinating displays, the opportunity to get close to unique aircraft, and the chance to meet pilots and air crew. Plus, the opportunity to grab scrumptious bites and drinks from our upgraded concession experience.

Flying performances will begin at 4:00 pm (Saturday and Sunday), featuring four hours of action-packed entertainment.

Our military performers will open the show, with the Thunderbirds flying first, followed by several civilian and military performers, all leading into the spectacular night show performances, pyrotechnics, music, and fireworks! The ‘Magic in the Air’ will conclude at 8:00 pm with a jaw-dropping pyro-musical fireworks show you won’t soon forget.

We expect discount ticket blocks to sell out rapidly, as in previous launches. The 2025 Airshow SOLD OUT, leaving many people disappointed. We don’t want you to be disappointed, so please plan to buy early and enjoy the deepest discounts of the year – while supplies last.

Stay tuned for even more exciting details and performer announcements.

Buckle up, Sacramento!
