Flagler County’s premiere air event and music festival join forces to host an all new warbird fly-in and music festival Friday, April 25 and Saturday, April 26, at the Flagler County Airport.
This two-day event will feature static displays of aircraft from every era along with several tribute bands throughout the weekend. The event is a new collaboration between Bluesky Yakrobatics and the Flagler County Airport, and Beach 92.7.
“Just adding live music makes a real nice atmosphere to the whole event,” said David Ayers, Flagler Broadcasting General Manager. “We want to keep the ticket price affordable and if you have a real good tribute band, you get to enjoy the music and it’s still a real good experience.”
The event kicks off Friday evening with meet the pilots and the Billy Joel tribute band Turnstile. On Saturday, there will be a full day of activities including live air demonstrations throughout the day, music starts at noon on the Budweiser Family KIA Stage featuring a lineup of bands including 1984, Van Halen tribute band, and The Long Run, Eagles Tribute band, taking the stage on Saturday night.
