The Cleveland National Air Show is a major annual air show held over Labor Day weekend at Burke Lakefront Airport in Cleveland, Ohio. Established in 1964 as a successor to the National Air Races, the show features thrilling aerial demonstrations including stunt airplanes, modern military jets like the U.S. Navy Blue Angels and U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds, parachute teams, and historic aircraft. The event attracts over 100,000 spectators each year and includes static aircraft displays, interactive exhibits, and ground demonstrations such as parachuting and jet truck races. It is a celebrated tradition in Cleveland, set against the city's lakeside skyline and supports local charities through its operations.
For 2025, the air show is scheduled from August 30 to September 1 with a lineup featuring the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds, military jet demonstrations, aerobatics, and more. Tickets and parking are available, and the event offers a family-friendly experience with many exhibits and opportunities to meet pilots.
