Nov. 7 To 9, Witham Field
The 2025 Stuart Air Show is more than breathtaking aerobatics and roaring jet engines—it’s also about education, inspiration and giving families a chance to experience history up close. This year, the show is expanding its community reach with a focus on STEM learning opportunities for students, interactive activities for families and a once-in-a-lifetime chance to fly in one of the rarest aircraft in the world.
Friday STEM Event
On Friday morning, Nov. 7, before gates open to the public, the Stuart Air Show will welcome nearly 300 local school-aged children for a closed STEM education event. Students will explore aviation and engineering concepts through hands-on activities and presentations led by local aviation businesses, STEM organizations and the pilots and crews of the aircraft on site. This unique opportunity sparks curiosity and highlights career paths in science, technology, engineering and math, ensuring the next generation is as inspired by aviation as the generations before them.
STEM Scavenger Hunt For Families
STEM learning continues all weekend long with a STEM Scavenger Hunt, sponsored by Dave & Buster’s, on Saturday and Sunday. Families attending the show can pick up a scavenger hunt card at the gate and collect stamps from STEM exhibitors throughout the venue. Once completed, kids can turn in their cards to receive a $10 Dave & Buster’s Power Card—a fun way to combine learning with play while encouraging exploration of all the exciting educational exhibits at the show.
The Legendary B-29 Superfortress “Doc”
History comes alive with the arrival of the B-29 Superfortress “Doc”, one of only two B-29s still flying in the entire world. This legendary World War II aircraft will land at Witham Field on Thursday afternoon, giving the public a chance to witness a rare piece of aviation history taxi in before the weekend festivities.
Even more thrilling, “Doc” will be offering rides out of the Vero Beach airport during its Treasure Coast visit. Passengers will have the extraordinary opportunity to fly inside a piece of history, experiencing what airmen of the Greatest Generation once did. Seats are limited, so aviation enthusiasts should keep an eye on stuartairshow.com for ride announcements and ticket availability.
Community, Family And Fun
While STEM and history shine brightly this year, the Stuart Air Show remains a full family event from start to finish. The weekend kicks off with the Friday Night Air Show and Dirty Flight Suit Party presented by TD Bank, featuring illuminated aerobatics, a fireworks finale and a choreographed drone show. On Saturday and Sunday, gates open at 9 a.m. with world-class flying from 11:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., plus interactive exhibits, food vendors and community displays.
The show also honors service by offering discounted tickets for veterans, seniors, and youth, ensuring the event is accessible for families across the Treasure Coast.
Honoring The Past, Inspiring The Future
Director of Operations Chrissy Valvano shared, “The Stuart Air Show is about more than entertainment—it’s about celebrating our history, inspiring our community and sparking passion in the next generation. From the B-29 to STEM programming for kids, we are proud to connect past, present and future through aviation.”
