For three days this November, the skies over the Treasure Coast will once again roar with military jets, aerobatic performers, and aircraft of all kinds as the Stuart Air Show returns for its 37th year November 13-15.
This year brings a particularly anticipated comeback: military jets and demonstration teams return after being absent in 2025. In the air, military and civilian performers will put their aircraft through their paces, while on the ground, visitors can explore static displays, meet pilots and crew members, and get an up-close look at aircraft both historic and modern.
“Exciting this year is the return of the military jets,” says Chrissy Valvano, director of operations. “After missing the jets and military demo teams for a year due to the government shutdown in 2025, we are back bigger and better than ever with our military demonstrations and military support.”
While the show draws world-class performers, it also supports the local community. Through a school partnership, the Stuart Air Show offers STEM programs that allow local students to learn about aviation, hear from local professionals in the industry, and discover future career paths. Proceeds from the show also go to fund nonprofit organizations across the Treasure Coast.
