Arlington SkyFest

Core Services & Expertise

Arlington SkyFest stands as a cornerstone of aviation celebration, transforming from a simple one-day Fly-In and spaghetti feed in 1969 to one of the most vibrant sport aviation events in the Western United States. More than just an airshow, SkyFest represents a comprehensive celebration of flight that brings together aviation enthusiasts, families, and professionals in a unique “County Fair with Airplanes” experience.

The event has evolved to become a multifaceted aviation festival that goes beyond traditional airshows. With up to 55,000 annual guests and over 1,000 aircraft visiting, SkyFest offers a rich tapestry of aviation experiences, from educational forums and hands-on workshops to spectacular aerial displays and community engagement.

Arlington Municipal Airport transforms into a vibrant aviation wonderland during SkyFest, creating an immersive experience that extends far beyond the traditional boundaries of an airshow. While geographically rooted in Washington State, the event draws aviation enthusiasts from across the United States, creating a national gathering that celebrates the spirit of flight.

The festival’s unique three-day format is a testament to its comprehensive approach to aviation celebration. Each day offers a distinct experience that caters to different aspects of aviation culture. From the intimate camping and networking opportunities of Friday to the spectacular aerial displays and technological showcases of Saturday, and culminating in the community-focused activities of Sunday, SkyFest provides a multifaceted exploration of aviation that appeals to hardcore enthusiasts and casual observers alike.
