It’s not summer in the Fraser Valley until you’ve spent an August day watching breathtaking flying displays and learning about aviation at the Abby Airshow.
The Abbotsford International Airshow is back in all its glory from Friday, August 9, to Sunday, August 11. Guests will enjoy aerial performances, aircraft displays, food trucks, craft beer tents, and more.
The action kicks off on Friday with a Twilight Show featuring a mesmerizing Drone Light Show, a GhostWriter, sky demonstrations, and a hot air balloon glow.
Later in the weekend, you can catch the Canadian Forces Snowbirds, the US Air Force F-22 Raptor, and the RCAF CF-18 Hornet Demonstration Team putting on daring demonstrations in the skies. The Canadian Forces Skyhawks will also showcase their daring skill, precision and teamwork.
There will be nearly 40 different aircraft for all ages to discover and take photos with, including the USAF B-52 Stratofortress, F1 Rocket, and the RCAF CC-177 Globemaster III.
