About Duluth Air & Aviation Expo

The Duluth Air & Aviation Expo brings high-flying excitement to Duluth International Airport (DUL) every year, drawing aviation enthusiasts from the region and beyond. With a packed lineup featuring military demonstrations, historic and modern aircraft displays, and family-friendly activities, this annual event is a staple in the Duluth calendar. The airport operates alongside the show, so guests should plan for on-site operations and a dependable shuttle system. We’ve got you covered with seating options, parking details, transportation tips, and nearby lodging and dining to help you secure your tickets and plan your visit with ease.

Plan to arrive early to experience the full airshow program, including performances like the USAF Thunderbirds, F-16 (148th FW), Wings of Blue, MiG-17, T-33, and other aircraft demonstrations. With an attendance around 50,000, quantities can move quickly for popular performances. Our recommendations prioritize convenient access, reliable parking, and comfortable lodging near the airport and downtown Duluth to ensure a smooth, enjoyable weekend.
