The Grande Prairie Regional Airshow will mark the first event of its kind in 19 years when pilots hit the skies on July 27th and 28th.
The event, organized by the Rotary Clubs of Grande Prairie and its partner, the Grande Prairie Regional Airport, will see all proceeds raised going towards the D Coy Community Hub Project.
Officials say the D Coy restoration project will see D Company Armouries transformed into a “functional community hub” that will serve the needs of GP residents, youth, community associations, and not-for-profits.
The airshow is set to feature numerous acts both in the skies and on the ground, and airshow Director of Social Media and Advertising, Devon Potter says the event will have something for everyone.
“We are thrilled to bring our residents a show like no other. The Airshow will feature performances from Geronimo Skydiving Team, Insanity Jet Car, Undaunted Airshows, and many more world-class performers,” she says. “The event will have something for everyone with many non-flying acts including A-10’s and F-22 jets, and activities the whole family can enjoy including a freestyle motocross show, bouncy castles, food trucks, and a market.”
Additionally, 2024 marks the 100th year of service for the Royal Canadian Air Force, which event organizers say will make the airshow’s return an exciting way to celebrate and learn about the RCAF.
Early Bird tickets are on sale online until June 30th on the Grande Prairie Regional Airshow’s website.
