All eyes will turn to the sky for Ocean City’s Boardwalk Aerobatic Airshow Weekend on Sunday, Sept. 19. The event is free to attend and is one of the annual highlights of September in Ocean City.

Before the airshow, the Parachute Pyrotechnic Show will return for its fourth year at 8 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 18. The show consists of several highly trained and specially licensed Team Fastrax parachuters jumping from a plane 6,000 feet above Ocean City’s beach and Boardwalk.

Brilliant white or multi-colored pyrotechnics are ignited as the parachuters fly in formation, creating a dazzling display for spectators on the ground. The jump will end with a landing on the Seventh Street Beach and will be viewable along the entire Boardwalk.

The Boardwalk Aerobatic Airshow will bring some of the best stunt pilots and aerobatic champions in the world to put on a show over the beach and Boardwalk starting at 1 p.m. Sunday. Some of the performers will include:

Thousands of bike riders will pour into Ocean City in the MS City to Shore Ride Sept. 25.

Thousands typically soak up some of the final days of the calendar summer as they watch the spectacle from the beach and Boardwalk. The show features warbirds, civilian aerobatics and military flybys. The show is best viewed from the area between Fifth Street and 14th Street.

There is no rain date for any of the shows, and air performances may be canceled if weather conditions do not allow for safe flying.

Due to a lack of available aviation exhibitors, the Ocean City Airport Festival will not be held this year. Look for its return in 2022.
