A Weekend Packed With Heart-Pounding Air Performances & Family Friendly Activities

The men and women who serve on MacDill Air Force Base invite you to Tampa Bay AirFest 2024 (March 29-30, 2024). It is our honor and privilege to host this free event which will feature an amazing variety of military and civilian flight performances (featuring The United States Air Force Thunderbirds). Tampa Bay AirFest 2024 promises to be packed with heart-pounding aerial performances and family-friendly activities showcasing all five branches of the United States military as well as our first responder agencies. This two-day event (Friday/Saturday) is your chance to get up close and personal with military/civilian aircraft and pilots!

MacDill Air Force Base is privileged to call the Tampa Bay region home for over 80 years and we are proud of the superb relationship we share with the surrounding communities of Tampa Bay. While the great flying weather in Tampa Bay plays a crucial role in the training and operations we conduct, it is the outstanding support and hospitality from the community that enables us to execute our global air refueling mission. AirFest is one small way to say “Thank You” for your unwavering support of the base and our personnel. Although General Admission is FREE, a limited amount of Premium Seating Tickets are available while supplies last. Get your tickets early to see The United States Air Force Thunderbirds” and so much more! Sit down, strap in, and hang-on! Tampa Bay AirFest is Back!
