Engines Roar, Planes Soar—This Is Not Your Average Airshow

Ready to gasp, cheer, and snap a million photos? Prepare for a sky full of twists, dips, and whooshes as world-class pilots—like Vicky Benzing, the legendary John Collver, and the dazzling Sammy Mason—perform edge-of-your-seat aerobatics that make you wonder if these planes actually have wings or just pure magic. Aerobatic performers will fill the blue Camarillo sky, air-dancers swirl in parachute formations, and military aircraft thunder overhead.

With the Red Bull Helicopter flipping and diving, pyrotechnics painting the sky, and even a classic warbird or two, this festival isn’t just about seeing—it’s about feeling the rush.

Car Show Cruise: Chrome, Gears, and Classic Cool

What’s that gleam from the tarmac? Oh, just dozens of meticulously detailed classic cars and trucks rumbling through the event in an afternoon parade of horsepower. From cherry-red convertibles to mean muscle cars, the Car Show and Parade revs up the nostalgia and lets you get up close to the vehicles you daydreamed about in study hall.

STEM Pavilion: Minds-on, Hands-on, Totally On

The fun isn’t only in the sky! Dive into the buzzing STEM Pavilion, where learning pops, crackles, and sparks right in your hands. Kids and grown-ups can tinker with robotics, test engineering skills, and get answers to the hows and whys from real scientists and pilots. If you ever wondered how helicopters hover or what happens in a jet engine, this is your playground. Don’t miss the robotics exhibitions—watch machines do flips, tricks, and maybe even teach you a thing or two about coding.
