Tampa Bay AirFest 2024 -- A Weekend Packed With Heart-Pounding Air Performances & Family Friendly Activities    The men and women who work and serve on MacDill Air Force Base invite you to Tampa Bay AirFest 2024 (March 29-30, 2024). It is our honor and privilege to host this free event which will feature an amazing variety of military and civilian flight performances (including The United States Air Force Air Demonstration Squadron "Thunderbirds"). Tampa Bay AirFest 2024 promises to be a weekend packed with heart-pounding air performances and family-friendly activities showcasing all five branches of the United States military as well as our first responder agencies. This two-day event is your chance to get up close and personal with military/civilian aircraft and pilots!    MacDill Air Force Base is privileged to have called the Tampa Bay region home for over 80 years and we are proud of the superb relationship we share with the surrounding communities of Tampa Bay. While the great flying weather in Tampa Bay plays a crucial role in the training and operations we conduct, it is the outstanding support and hospitality that enable us to execute our global air refueling mission. AirFest is one small way to say "Thank You" for your unwavering support of the base and our personnel. Although General Admission is FREE, a limited amount of Premium Seating Tickets are available while supplies last. Get your tickets early to see The United States Air Force Air Demonstration Squadron "Thunderbirds" and so much more! It's on! Tampa Bay AirFest is Back!
