About Kelly Field

Kelly Field is a premier outdoor event space at Port San Antonio, adjacent to JBSA Lackland. Known for hosting large-scale air shows and public events, this joint‑use military airfield and industrial airport brings together aviation heritage, community entertainment, and convenient access for attendees from across the region. With no fixed seating capacity, events unfold on the outdoor grounds, where general admission applies and premium seating may be offered for select shows. Typical major events attract tens of thousands to well over 100,000 attendees per day, making it one of the area’s most energetic venues.

Whether you’re planning a family day at the air show or attending as a guest, we’ve got you covered with clear, practical information on parking, transit, and nearby accommodations and dining to help you secure your seats with confidence.

Kelly Field is part of the Port San Antonio and JBSA framework, with a history dating back to its renaming in December 2017 as part of heritage efforts. When events are scheduled, entry instructions and gate access vary by date, so check your event page for the latest guidance.
