What to Know to Enjoy the Air Show

By

2024 is a very special year for the CenterPoint® Energy Dayton Air Show Presented by Kroger as they celebrate 50 years of air shows in the birthplace of aviation – Dayton, Ohio! This year they  welcome the U.S. Navy Blue Angels at Dayton International Airport.

The Blue Angels will headline a jaw dropping lineup of performers and aircraft ground displays in what will be one of the biggest and most special air shows in Dayton history.

The Vandalia-Butler Chamber of Commerce Dayton Air Show Parade is generally the Friday of “air show week”. While the parade officially steps off at 7 p.m., preparation begins as early as 3 p.m. and can create traffic congestion in the parade staging area. Don’t miss this great community event through downtown Vandalia. The route begins at St. Christopher’s parking lot (on U.S. 40 near I-75), travels west to the historic Crossroads of America, turns north on North Dixie and finishes at the Delphi plant on Northwoods Blvd. Motorists should exercise great caution and patience in the area because of the increased pedestrian traffic.

On Saturday and Sunday gates open at 9am and close at 6pm. Flying will start at 11:15am. Planes in the sky, aircraft on the ground, Kids Zone and STEM areas, and plenty of food and drinks available – you don’t want to miss all of the action.
