San Diego, CA–Marine Corps Air Station Miramar and Marine Corps Community Services Miramar canceled the 2021 Miramar Air Show Thursday due to the continuing public health risks associated with COVID-19.
The Miramar Air Show is the largest military air show in the world and typically one of the largest single public events in San Diego, drawing in upwards of half a million guests and spectators from around the globe every year.
Due to uncertainty surrounding the spread of coronavirus across the San Diego region, Col. Charles Dockery, commanding officer of MCAS Miramar, made the decision to suspend this fall’s scheduled event and reschedule the show in 2022.
“The Miramar Air Show brings in aviation and military enthusiasts from every corner of the world,” Col. Dockery said. “While San Diego continues to lead the way in vaccines and beginning to reopen, there are still a great many risks involved with a gathering on the scale of our air show.”
Sponsors, vendors, and chalet clients may contact Marine Corps Community Services at (858) 307-6365 for customized plans for the 2022 Miramar Air Show.
