Come join us at the Goshen Municipal Airport for our annual celebration honoring Veterans and essay winners. Enjoy an impressive display of aircraft, fantastic vendors, and a stunning fireworks show.
We had a great time at Freedom Fest. The airplanes were fun to watch and the jets were exciting. LOVED the semi with the jet engine. The fireworks show was one of the best I've ever seen!! Most everything was about our service members as it should have been. Food and drinks were pricey but they always are at these kind of events. I'll definitely be going again next year.
The Airshow itself is OK, BUT trying to leave the place is a frustrating free for all with almost zero traffic guidance until you get to the gate. Let me explain, we are in line trying to get out onto the main strip of traffic that is heading toward the gate and a WORKER of the event runs up to his buddy's car, talks to him, then proceeds to walk out in front of us, tells us to stop and let his buddy pull in front of us leaving us to have to wait for another chance to sneak through. Then he walks off ignoring an request from myself for his name as I wanted to report this problem. He walked past another 5 lanes of busy traffic didn't direct anyone, got on his little golf cart and drove back to where he came from. Also when we finally did get in line to leave a person cut us off and almost hit our vehicle because of zero traffic control. Watching the over priced food vendor trucks leave on the main road long before we can even leave the parking lot onto said road is extremely irritating. Some recommendations, skip the fireworks, get everyone out at a decent hour in the day light, have some type of lane / traffic control so people aren't cutting each other off and possibly getting hit by cars getting to their cars. Also if the event ended earlier everyone wouldn't be tired and trying to get home. Also allow canopy's at least, not sure why coolers aren't allowed, maybe an alcohol thing? But canopy's provide decent shade and you have several low lying areas where they can be put up, it's sad to see VIP expensive tents get so much better treatment than people that just show up for a good family time. 3 years in a row and this will be my last time going.
