Long Beach Airport will host its annual Festival of Flight on Saturday, October 25, 2025. The event is expected to attract thousands of aviation enthusiasts and community members. Activities will take place from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the west end of the airfield, located at 3590 East Wardlow Road.
The festival is free and open to all ages, with organizers estimating an attendance of around 15,000 people. Attractions include static aircraft displays, children’s activities, food and beer trucks, as well as performances by AbSOULute, DJ Dennis, and the Satin Dollz.
This year’s lineup features several notable aircraft such as the C-53 “D-Day Doll,” which participated in the D-Day invasion and Operation Market Garden; a KC-46 Pegasus military refueling aircraft; and the VX-31 Search and Rescue “Dust Devils,” a U.S. Navy helicopter crew involved in rescue missions for downed aircraft or missing persons. The Condor Squadron flying AT-6 Texan planes will conduct two flyovers during the event.
