Air Fest 2020

We are thinking of our friends at the Canadian Forces Snowbirds during this difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims, along with their fellow team members, family and friends.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT FROM AIR FEST ST. THOMAS: Out of an abundance of caution, the organizing committee of AirFest 2020 regrettably will postpone the upcoming June 26-28, 2020 airshow in order to reduce the risk of transmitting COVID-19 coronavirus. The cancellation comes at the guidance of federal, provincial and local health officials who are looking to mitigate health risks. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the safety of our volunteers, members, and visitors is of... paramount concern. We extend our sincere appreciation to all of our partners who have expressed their commitment to continue to support our show and will be with us next June 25-27, 2021. As disappointing as this decision is to all of our team, our priority continues to be the health and safety of our community during this unprecedented time. When the time is right, we will get our team back to the table to plan an air show for 2021 that will be like no-other. However, we have already confirmed that our Friday Night Gala keynote speaker Brian Shul will be our keynote speaker on June 25, 2021. As well we have commitments from most of our performers that they will also be with us next June. Our thanks for your understanding and support through these difficult times. Tickets that have already been purchased or issued for the event will be honoured for the rescheduled date of June 25-27, 2021.

On Sunday, we celebrated International Women's Day 2020! One of the key pillars of our event is to feature 'Women in Aviation' and to inspire women and girls to dream big!
