Sacramento County will present the 15th annual California Capital Airshow Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, Sept. 24-26 at Mather Airport. This year’s event features the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds, the Royal Canadian Air Force Snowbirds, and F-35 Lightning jet demonstration teams.
The mighty military jets are ready and raring to rock the skies over Sacramento and offer more than four hours of thrilling flying performances on Saturday and Sunday. The performances, narration, and music will be different for Saturday and Sunday’s events, and more than 25 military jets will soar above in just three hours.
Additionally, massive military aircraft will be on display as well as interactive STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) experiences for kids and families to enjoy from 9 a.m.‐ 5 p.m. each day. But that’s not all: Buckle up for the addition of an all‐new third day of Airshow excitement on Friday!
With limited capacity for this year and pent‐up public demand, the CCA team developed an alternative to the more traditional event, a drive‐in Airshow for Friday ONLY that will take place from 3:30 ‐ 7 p.m. This unique event is likely the first and last of its kind.
“We know how much the community loves the airshow, and wow, what a show we have planned this year – we can’t wait ‘til gates open! The flying performances, mighty jets, music and narration will be epic – you won’t want to miss out on the high‐flying fun! So get ready for an action‐packed, one‐of‐a‐kind event that will have fans on the edge of their seats!”
Darcy Brewer, executive director of the California Capital Airshow
