The City of Monroe is pleased to announce the 2024 Warbirds Over Monroe Air Show will be held November 9 & 10 at Charlotte-Monroe Executive Airport (3900 Paul J Helms Drive).
Join us Veterans Day weekend for the most action-packed air show in the region as we honor the men and women who served in our U.S. Armed Forces.
This year’s air show will feature dozens of planes from the World War II era and beyond, most of which will be on display before the aerial portion of the show!
“We are excited to once again bring history alive through our planes in the air and on the ground,” said show organizer Pete Hovanec. “Aside from honoring our Veterans, the Warbirds Over Monroe Air Show allows the significance of many of these forgotten pieces of aviation and US history to be shared across generations in a way that is respectful, fun and exciting.”
A special Veterans recognition program will take place at the Veterans Tent on Saturday.
Guests should arrive early as gates open at 9 a.m. with the aerial entertainment starting around noon. Guests should bring folding chairs or blankets for seating. Cameras are allowed. Drones are not allowed.
The air show will also have 30+ vendors on site with food and drink options, along with military memorabilia, nonprofits and other vendors.
The show goes on, rain or shine, and parking is free. Limited handicap parking is available near the airport; once the lot is full, it will become a drop-off and pick-up point. Buses will be available to shuttle patrons.
Coolers, smoking, and pets, with the exception of service dogs, are not permitted.
