Gulf Coast Salute Air Show

Russell Fields City Pier at the entrance to Pier Park

Date: 05/04/2024 - 05/05/2024
Starts: All Day
Ends: All Day

The Russell-Fields Pier will be the center stage for this amazing Air Show. It will allow thousands of spectators to spread out along the shoreline and watch the show.

The Thunderbirds may be the main attraction, but Tyndall Air Force Base will also give everyone a close-up look at their new F-35s that begin arriving in August.

“It’s not only to show off military equipment, but it’s really to give back to the community,” Watkins said. “The community loves seeing the planes. They love coming out for an air show and we wanted to have the chance to get back to the community.”

The Gulf Coast Salute is scheduled for May 4-5 of 2024, which will coincide with the Thunder Beach Motorcycle Rally.
