About this Event

Join Propel Forward as they host this three-day event of aviation and family fun. Friday is Veterans Night, featuring a veterans' program with free admission for veterans, hot air balloons, fireworks, and a chance to meet the performers. The event will include a full airshow (the first in Southern Wisconsin in 14 years), a highlight of which will be a 15-minute aero demonstration by the U.S. Air Force F-35A Lightning II Demonstration Team on both Saturday and Sunday. The F-35A is one of more than 10 airshow performers, along with the MiG-17 by Fighterjets Inc. and Warbird Thunder.


Also, explore the car show on Saturday, Mighty Machines heavy equipment on Sunday, and a large kids' education area. All three days include historical aircraft rides, displays, kids' activities, food and beverage concessions and live music. Watch for details on a high-performance sports car driving experience. Plan ahead - advance tickets are recommended to guarantee event access, and if tickets are available at the gate, they will be card or mobile pay only, no cash. Parking is limited to 5,000 spots at the airport and 1,000 off-site.
