IMPORTANT UPDATE TO 2026 SHOW DATES
This year, our annual FourLeaf Air Show at Jones Beach will take place on Sunday, July 5, 2026, and Monday, July 6, 2026, as part of the Semiquincentennial (250th) celebration of the United States.
Traditionally our air show is held on Memorial Day weekend at Jones Beach. The change of date for the 2026 FourLeaf Air Show will occur in conjunction with Fleet Week New York, which has also moved from Memorial Day weekend to July 4th weekend. The United States Navy Blue Angels will headline our 2026 air show as part of the celebration, along with many additional military performers and internationally known civilian aerobatic performers.
Although the air show will not take place on Memorial Day weekend in 2026, Jones Beach State Park will still host events that weekend to continue the tradition of honoring those that have paid the ultimate sacrifice for our country.
We look forward to seeing you all at Jones Beach July 4th weekend for the 2026 FourLeaf Air Show!
