The Cleveland National Air Show is an annual event held every Labor Day weekend at Burke Lakefront Airport in Cleveland, Ohio. It was established in 1964 as a successor to the National Air Races. The show features a wide range of aerial demonstrations including stunt airplanes, modern fighter jets, and performances by the U.S. Navy Blue Angels and U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds on alternating years. Alongside the aerial acts, there are static displays of military and civilian aircraft that spectators can explore, interactive exhibits, and other exciting ground demonstrations like parachute teams and jet truck races. The event draws over 100,000 spectators and is a major regional tradition celebrating aviation history and technology.
For the 2025 show, it is scheduled to take place from August 30 to September 1, featuring the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds as headliners, with other aerial acts such as the F-15 Eagle, C-130 Hercules, the U.S. Army Golden Knights parachute team, and more. Tickets and parking must be purchased in advance online as there are no gate sales.
