An Important Update
After careful consideration, Joint Base Charleston has made the decision to transition the 2026 Charleston Airshow to a one-day, off-base event. This change is a necessary result of increased operational requirements due to current global events.
On Saturday, May 2nd, Joint Base Charleston is proud to partner with the Cities of Charleston and Mount Pleasant to host a one-day Harbor-Front Airshow. This display of aviation excellence will take place over the Charleston Harbor, South of the Cooper River Bridge between downtown Charleston & Mt Pleasant and will feature the Blue Angels & F16 Demo team!
Passes will not be required for the harbor-front event. You will be able to view the show from public locations in downtown Charleston and Mount Pleasant.
We are excited to share more information on this unique event as it becomes available. Keep an eye on the Joint Base Charleston Facebook page for updates.
Premium Ticket Refunds:
For those that purchased premium seating tickets for the original airshow format, please know that you will be receiving a refund. You can expect outreach from our team in the coming weeks.
