The Canadian International Air Show (CIAS) is an annual air show held in Toronto, Ontario, as part of the Canadian National Exhibition (CNE). It occurs during the Canadian Labour Day weekend, typically running along Toronto's waterfront near Exhibition Place. The show features military, government, and civilian aircraft from Canada and the United States, including famous performers like the Canadian Forces Snowbirds and the Royal Canadian Air Force CF-18 Hornet. The 2025 edition of the air show is scheduled from August 30 to September 1, with daily shows starting at 12:00 PM and ending around 3:40 PM. Admission to the air show itself is free, but viewing from Exhibition Place requires paid CNE admission. Highlights for 2025 include the Snowbirds, the Northern Stars (a three-ship Canadian team), and other performers to be announced. The event coincides with the final days of the CNE and marks the unofficial end of summer in Toronto.
If you want details about specific performers or tickets, these are available through the official CIAS website and the CNE site.
