Experience heart-pounding aviation adventure this weekend at the Wings Over Houston Airshow 2024 at Ellington Field on Saturday, October 26 and Sunday, October 27, 2024.
One of the top air shows in North America—voted #3 in USA Today polls—returns to Ellington Field for its 40th year, bringing a full weekend of high-flying thrills, agile expert pilots, vintage aircraft and all kinds of airshow spectacles.
The Blue Angels, the United States Navy’s flight demonstration squadron piloted by aviators from the Navy and Marines, will be headlining this year’s event, making their first Wings Over Houston appearance since 2022.
The family-friendly event offers fun and entertainment both on the ground and in the air, featuring kid zones, static airplanes for touring, food and drink vendors, souvenirs, a WWII reenactment camp, the Legends & Heroes Autograph Tent, the Houston Veterans Marketplace with local veteran-owned businesses, and more.
