Last month, we dropped an Airshow performer (hint, hint) in the Insider email.

So, without further ado, here’s the reveal …

Your 20th Anniversary California Capital Airshow will feature not one but TWO national military demonstration teams! The loud and proud United States Air Force Thunderbirds, celebrating America’s 250th, will be joined by the Royal Canadian Air Force’s Snowbirds.

That means you get six jets of American ‘rock and roll’ (the Thunderbirds) with the jaw-dropping nine ships of precision and grace (the Snowbirds). And the only place to see this stunning aviation spectacle is Sacramento County’s Mather Airport on October 10 & 11, 2026.

Buckle up, Sacramento, because it gets even better. Keep an eye on your inbox for more top-notch performer announcements and a surprise or two.

Have a wonderful day,

Here’s wishing you and your family a joyful and safe holiday season. May your new year be filled with prosperity and happiness!

In addition to the thunderous US Air Force Thunderbirds, Santa is bringing something special to Sacramento. Much like the jolly Saint Nick, “they” come decked out in Red and White (hint, hint).

We cannot wait to celebrate California Capital Airshow’s 20th Anniversary & America’s 250th birthday with you, featuring patriotic festivities and the ‘Loud & Proud’ Red, White, & Blue jet team (Thunderbirds) at Sacramento Mather Airport.

Don’t forget to mark your calendar for October 10th and 11th, 2026, because it’s going to be an exciting, one-of-a-kind airshow that you’ll want to experience firsthand.

Happy holidays!
