The night shows don’t end after the Fourth of July this year, so get ready to have your eyes in the skies in just a couple of weeks. The 18th annual California Capital Airshow, presented by Sacramento County in partnership with the City of Rancho Cordova, returns July 13-14, 2024 from 3:30-9:30PM daily, at Mather Airport in Sacramento.
The two-day event will feature an extraordinary lineup of performers, including the Italian jet team, Frecce Tricolori, and the United States Air Force Thunderbirds, plus miles of ground attractions and the return of nighttime aerial performances concluding with a massive pyro-musical fireworks show.
“This year’s show offers a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience,” said Darcy Brewer, Executive Director of California Capital Airshow. “Our attendees will enjoy performances by two world-renowned jet teams, Frecce Tricolori and the Thunderbirds, along with some of the most skilled pilots from around the globe, right here in Sacramento.”
This unique show features four hours of nonstop aerial performances beginning at 5:30 PM each day. The United States Air Force Thunderbirds will kick off the event followed by Frecce Tricolori, U.S. Navy F-18 Super Hornet, U.S. Air Force F-35 Lightning and C-17 Globemaster demo teams and an impressive roster of highly skilled civilian performers including priceless vintage warbirds. As the sun sets, the show will continue with maximum afterburner followed by aircraft lighting up the night sky with pyrotechnics, walls of fire, spectacular fireworks and a 500-drone show.
