Star-Spangled Air Show
Official Release:
The Star-Spangled Air Show will feature five high-precision aviation acts from the U.S. Navy and Coast Guard over a two-and-a-half-hour period between 1:00 – 4:00 p.m. on June 16 and 17. The featured act will be the U.S. Navy Blue Angels. The air show will take place over the Middle Branch of the Patapsco River. Public viewing sites along the Middle Branch are limited, and recreational boating traffic will be restricted from cruising the water in the air show “box” while the show is in progress.
Public Viewing Locations
The air show will be accessible to view from several pre-designated public viewing sites, including Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine and the grounds of Harbor Hospital. Aircraft take offs and landings can be observed, along with a display of military aircrafts, at Martin State Airport. Reservations can be made up to June 1 by organized groups traveling by bus or motorcoach to view the show at a South Locust Point location to the west of the Fort and east of the Cruise Maryland terminal, which provides for shorter walking distances.

In addition, there will be a live broadcast of the air show on Saturday, June 16 and Sunday, June 17 on large LED screens in both the Inner Harbor and Fell’s Point. This is a great opportunity for interested spectators who want to catch the air show but wish to avoid large crowds while visiting the ships. The LED screens will also air both taped and live Sailabration events and activities throughout the week.
