F-16 Viper Demo – Matt Haskell Photography
The countdown is officially on! In just a few short weeks, the skies over Witham Field will once again come alive as the 2026 Stuart Air Show returns November 13 to 15 for an unforgettable weekend of aviation, patriotism and family entertainment.
Whether you have attended for years or are planning your first visit, this is not the year to miss out. We are returning bigger and better than ever with an exciting mix of military power, world-class aerobatics, historic aircraft and special experiences on the ground and in the air.
Headlining the weekend is the United States Air Force F-16 Viper Demonstration Team, showcasing the incredible speed, precision and maneuverability of one of the world’s most recognizable fighter aircraft. The weekend will also feature military appearances by the C-17 Globemaster III and KC-46 Pegasus, giving spectators an up-close look at the strength and capabilities of today’s United States Air Force.
An outstanding civilian lineup will keep the action moving throughout the weekend. The Red Bull Helicopter and Red Bull Air Force will bring their signature brand of high-energy excitement to Stuart, while the NextGen Eagles, Titan Aerobatic Team, Coleman Aerosports, GhostWriter Airshows, Kyle Fowler Aerosports and RJ Gritter Airshows fill the sky with formation flying, aerobatics, smoke and speed.
The show will also honor aviation history through appearances by Jim Tobul’s F4U-4 Corsair, the historic C-47 “Tico Belle” and the Round Canopy Parachute Team. Together, these aircraft and performers help connect generations while reminding us of the courage, innovation and sacrifice that shaped our nation.
The celebration begins Friday evening with one of the Stuart Air Show’s most distinctive traditions: our twilight and night air show. As the sun begins to set, illuminated aircraft take to the sky before a spectacular fireworks and drone show finale. It is an experience unlike anything else on the Treasure Coast and the perfect way to begin the weekend.
Saturday and Sunday will feature full days of aerial entertainment along with static aircraft displays, exhibits, food, activities for children and opportunities to explore aviation from an entirely new perspective. Sunday will once again include a special emphasis on honoring our veterans and recognizing the men and women who have served our country.
Guests looking to elevate their experience can choose from several upgrades, including reserved spectator seating, the Flightline Club and premium parking. These options are limited and may sell out, so purchasing early is strongly encouraged. General Admission tickets include general parking and are valid for either Saturday or Sunday.
The Stuart Air Show is made possible by the dedication of more than 600 volunteers, along with our sponsors, community partners, performers and supporters. Their commitment allows us to continue our mission of celebrating aviation, honoring its past and inspiring its future while supporting nonprofit organizations throughout our community.
As our nation celebrates America’s 250th anniversary, there could not be a more fitting time to gather with family and friends, look toward the sky and celebrate our shared history.
Mark your calendars, purchase your tickets and start planning your weekend. The 2026 Stuart Air Show is almost here—and you will want to be there when Witham Field comes alive.
