The American Heroes Air Show features non-stop aerial demonstrations and excitement including interactive exhibits, helicopter rides, live local entertainment, and much more!

Established in Los Angeles in 1992, the American Heroes Air Show began as a grass-roots community effort to celebrate the dynamic role of helicopters in law enforcement, fire service, search and rescue, homeland security, communications and national defense. Today, this non-profit event is offered in seven major U.S. cities, enabling spectators from coast-to-coast the rare opportunity to view advanced military and civilian helicopters and meet the pilots who fly them.

Event admission and parking are free.
