The 2026 EAA AirVenture Oshkosh (the "World's Greatest Aviation Celebration") will take place from July 20 through July 26, 2026. Held at Wittman Regional Airport in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, the week-long event features world-class daily air shows, evening showcases, forums, and hands-on workshops.

Event Schedule & Highlights

• Daily Air Shows: Afternoon shows run from 2:30 PM to 6:30 PM Monday through Saturday, and from 1:00 PM to 4:30 PM on Sunday.

• Night Air Shows: Don't miss the spectacular night air shows—featuring pyrotechnics and drones—on Wednesday and Saturday nights.

• Featured Aircraft: The B-29 Superfortress "Doc" will be a featured performer, conducting flight experiences and ground tours.

• Youth Admissions: Thanks to support from Boeing, youths ages 18 and under receive free admission.

Planning Your Trip

• Tickets: General daily passes are available for non-members ranging from $0 - $121, while weekend camping packages start around $284. You can purchase advance tickets via the EAA AirVenture Tickets page. 

• Accommodations: Because local hotels in Oshkosh sell out and inflate their prices, many attendees recommend booking lodging in neighboring cities like Appleton or Fond du Lac, which are approximately a 45-minute to hour drive away.
