Milwaukee Air Expo

Milwaukee Air Expo

The Milwaukee Air & Water Show is a free airshow held annually along the lakefront in downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It is billed as "the largest two day event in Wisconsin," with an attendance of almost 500,000 people in 2005.

A predecessor to the airshow was first held at Festa Italiana in 2002 to celebrate its 25th anniversary. TCF Bank joined as the title sponsor and the Milwaukee Air & Water Show staged its first event at Veterans Park in 2004. In 2005 the Navy's Blue Angels returned to Milwaukee after six years and in 2006, the Air Force's Thunderbirds performed. The show featured many of the aviation industry's top acrobatic performers, including the U.S. Army's Golden Knights parachuting team and the Red Baron Pizza stunt flying team.

After a successful return of the air show and the USAF Thunderbirds in 2009, The airshow continues under the leadership of Airshows of Wisconsin President Paul A. Rogers, and anticipates the return of the USN Blue Angels in 2010.
