Don't miss the Miramar Air Show September 26-28, 2025 in San Diego. There are many great shows and food trucks. If you're looking for a new career for yourself or adult children, there are many military and law enforcement recruiters passing information. Check it out! Happy Yelping :)
MCAS Miramar hosted another amazing air show this year with the US Navy Blue Angels synchronized flying, artful smoke trails/streams, and explosions of kinetic energy enough to make my body vibrate and make me want to cover my ears. Parking lots helped streamline the crowds in an organized fashion.
I have driven by the airshow many times over the past 15 years, and never attended. This year I went for the first time. It's simple to get to and there's an abundance of parking. And best of all it's a FREE show. You have the option of paying for premium seating, but it's actually not necessary. There are tons of vendors selling merchandise on the inside. It's 3 days long with something different each day. I went on the second day, which was a Saturday. The airshow was spectacular! I recommend some hearing protection for the little ones or if u have sensitive hearing. It's gets pretty loud. I definitely will Come again next year.
The annual air show is a great free experience for all ages. The hardest part is the heat off the tarmac and the noise level. There is an indoor area that you can walk around in to get out of the heat. As for the noise bring earplugs, earbuds, or a headset. Since my kids were little if we forgot they sell great noise canceling headsets that fit over the ears and dampen the noise. (Helps for sensory issues with sound) The show has a published schedule and it stays fairly close to what is publicized. It is a lot of people and sometimes lines to see certain aircraft's. The staff is very helpful. There are golf carts if you need help getting across the tarmac from onside to the next. Do not miss the Blue Angels They are always last and spectacular. If you don't like crowds you can see the planes fly from different spots around San Diego. They did practice runs on Thursday, so you could see them in the sky then as well.
The Miramar Air Show is absolutely massive in size and scope, with an incredible mix of aircraft displays, vendors, and interactive exhibits. Everywhere you look, there's something cool to see, planes of wars past, modern military jets, helicopters, and even ground weapons you can walk right up to. It's not every day you get this close to so much history and technology in one place. We opted for the VIP experience in the Semper Fi Chalet, and it was worth every penny. With food, and alcohol included, and one of the best vantage points to watch the show, it made the day extra comfortable. Throughout the show they also have big explosions and fireballs which replicate what a bomb strike might be like, the Chalet offers great views of these special effects. Sitting back with a cold drink while jets roared overhead with the explosions bombing, was something special. If it gets too hot, there is a giant tented area where you can escape the heat and drink a cold one while you eat. One of the highlights for me was interacting with the servicemen and women who were all respectful, gracious, and inspiring to talk with. Their passion really added to the day. A female service member captivatingly described, in broad, non-technical terms, how crews prepare and aim a giant field cannon for long-range firing, likely a 155mm howitzer, I was awestruck when she mentioned that gravitational pull factors into the equation. On the performance side, Aaron Deliu blew my mind with his aerobatic stunts. Hearing him talk live from the cockpit as he pulled off insane maneuvers was unforgettable. But the ultimate showstoppers were the Blue Angels flying their F/A-18 Super Hornets in tight, high-speed formations. WOW is all I can say, this was my first air show, but definitely not my last. The only negative, which is understandable, but the parking is sprawling and easily a mile away from the tarmac area where the show happens. Just be mentally prepared.
My first time at this Airshow and it was pretty awesome! It's definitely a whole day event with the Blue Angels for the grand finale. I didn't expect parking to be such a huge production but we drove around the base to get to the lot and then had to walk 45 minutes to the air field. Once at the airfield there were interesting sights to see including the airshow. Also plenty of food vendors and different giveaways.
First off, a big warning. Parking is a huge mess. It took us two hours to get into one of their many free parking lots so we were late to the show and it took us 2 1/2 hours to get out of the parking lot. It is a cluster mess parking wise. If you don't have the patience which we barely did to sit through that, you might want to go to a different airshow Otherwise, once you get in, it is lovely. Lots of food, vendors, souvenirs, lots of people, lots of wonderful airplanes, helicopters. An amazing air show. We bought the Semper Fi tent tickets. Totally worth it. Had an amazing view and very good food in the included lunch. We had our own Porta potties in the simper fi tent. And free unlimited drinks. If you can splurge for those tickets, I would highly recommend it. I'm not sure what the answer is with the parking. It actually might be faster to park on the street or across the street at the mall and walk. If you are able to walk that long distance. I think the problem is is that anyone can go into the airshow without tickets, but in order to sit in the viewing areas or grand stands or the tents, you have to buy tickets. So I guess a lot of people go and they just watch from the place where all the vendors, food vendors, etc. are. Very strict security at the entrance. They even asked why we brought medicine. No outside food or drink are allowed. They also have a separate entrance for foreign visitors, who were checked extremely thoroughly.
First time attendee. Here's a few tips for future newbies: Get there early. Traffic backs up to get onto the base/parking lots and the show entry points. Bring ID. It's a military installation. Bring sunscreen. Minimal cover unless you're fortunate to be in a tented space (more later) Clear plastic bags for your belongings. Hydrate I attended the show this year ('23) as a guest of the U.S. Navy - also thanks to a friend who brought me as her +1. After parking and hopping on the shuttle to ferry us to one of entrances, we presented ID's, were cursory searched and then we hopped onto one of the golf carts and were taken to the tent areas. There are corporate sponsors or areas where guests get to enjoy the show under cover of the sun, with seating and in some cases, with food and drinks. There are also bleachers and areas where you can also bring your own seating on the tarmac. Exhibits to see and vendors offering food and goods for sale. Lots of staff around offering assistance and lots of Porta Potty's around. I felt the event was well organized and family friendly. And the show was awesome.
Such an amazing air show! I usually go to the Pacific air show in HB but Miramar is so much more interactive with lots more to see. Great day to spend with the family. It is on a base so you cannot bring in any bags etc unless it's in a clear bag. They sell them at the door for $5 if you forget or don't have one. You can buy tickets to the grand stand or sectioned off seating or in the tents. If you don't want to do that, you can bring your own chairs and sit and watch the show in designated areas. The lines to the concession stands are long but go by pretty fast. Only porta potties so be prepared. (By the end of the show, there was no more water to wash your hands- but there are sanitizers) Bring sunblock bc you'll be out in the sun for a long time! Definitely will be back next year!
Fun day of watching jets zoom by, performing daring tricks, and touring stationary aircraft on the ground. The entry and exit lines were long but we'll organized by the military personnel. There were plenty of food and drink options once inside, and ample shade thanks to the shadows under the parked aircraft wings. Be sure to bring folding chairs and sunscreen, and pack everything in transparent materials since opaque bags are not allowed. Also don't forget ID--mandatory to enter. Every SD resident needs to check this event out at least once.
First time going to the show, and absolutely loved it! Couple of tidbits: the show is free, but if you want a seat on the grandstand, you do have to purchase tickets in advance. They do sell out several days prior to the event, so plan accordingly. Parking does take about 20 to 30 minutes due to the long lines getting into the Miramar base. There are a lot of food, vendors, and Porta potty's for all your humanly needs. We definitely didn't wanna be there the whole day because it is very hot and there's no shade. So we showed up early afternoon due to that the shows we wanted to see were in the afternoon. There was so many cool, military planes, trucks, tanks, boats park there for you to look at. And many of them allows you to walk through them and see the inside. There was at least one if not two military staff add each location answering all your questions and giving you short explanation of what you're looking at. Of course, the planes were the coolest there. There's air shows throughout the day, you can pick up a copy of the free program at one of the information stations. Or you can check it online. We saw the F 22 do crazy maneuvers in the sky, that was impressive. and of course, no airshow is complete without the blue angels performing I've seen them a few times in the past, but that is always a crowd pleaser. Highly recommend for children and adults alike. Guaranteed a good time, just remember to stay hydrated.
I wanted to rejoin the military after seeing all the cool S#$%t we have. Amazing airshow with so many planes, vehicles and exhibits! But.... Let me start with the bad. So busy! I failed to get here early and paid the price. Getting to the parking lot took 15 minutes. No shuttles near or they were so slow and backed up. Walked over a mile from the orange lot to gate 2. Gate was backed up with about 300 people waiting to enter the flightline. Walked to the next gate, silver gate? and we couldn't get in without a shuttle. So the last gate, finally let us in. Then we had to walk all the way east on the flightline to get to the show. After the hour or so to get in, the show was pretty F'ing cool. I have attended before and worked here a few times. This was the first time I came as a civilian and it wasn't as fun. LOL Still, the amount of reps there from fire and cops to all branches of service, was awesome. Marine Raiders had their own booth! That was awesome. MCRD had a booth and will killed the pullup challenge! Got a free water bottle. Lots to do here and makes for an inspirational fun day. They just need to work on the logistics a little more and this would be a great event.
We did not attend the air show. The thought of mingling with 100,000 people, lots of cement & asphalt, in 100 degree weather was not our jam. But, we did have a party at our house for those who did not want to go to the airfield. We had a perfect view of all the demonstrated flights by different jets, and the Blue Angels came up close many times. We had a great time bbqing, drinking, and lots of conversations!
What an amazing event for the community! The Miramar Air Show is such a fun experience, especially for kids. My son is three, and this was his second year coming. He gets SO excited for it, he literally looks at the program all year, loves his Blue Angels shirt, and is obsessed with all the little airplanes he gets there. You can pay for reserved seats or come completely FREE and bring your own chairs. The grounds are huge, with tons of planes, helicopters, fighter jets, military vehicles, and service members everywhere who are happy to answer the kids' questions. My biggest advice: GET THERE EARLY. We went Friday, arrived pretty early, and it still took about 30 minutes to get through security. Parking, getting onto the base, and leaving can all take a while. If you have handicap parking, make sure you go through the handicap entrance to save yourself about an hour. Also, it is HOT!!!!!!! Hotter than what the temperature says It's gonna be! There is basically zero shade, very little breeze, and lots of hot concrete. Bring chairs, an umbrella or shade, sunscreen, hats, a wagon, and WAY more water than you think you'll need. Check the current bag rules before you go. we brought a clear bag, and coolers may be allowed for medical needs. There are tons of food vendors, ice cream, Kona Ice, drinks, etc., but the lines can get long. Definitely walk through all the vendor booths too because there are lots of little freebies for the kids. Bring hearing protection for the kids, honestly, adults may want it too. Those jets are LOUD. Grab a program while you're there too! It has the schedule and lots of fun information. This year on Friday, things seemed to be running about 45 minutes to an hour behind, so I wouldn't rely on the posted times being exact. One tip for leaving: pack everything up before the Blue Angels and head toward your car. You can still get a great view from the parking area while already being packed up and ready to leave instead of fighting the entire crowd afterward. Overall, such a cool event. Everyone was incredibly helpful and friendly, and we're so thankful for all the service members who take the time to talk to the kids and make it such a special experience. We'll definitely make it an annual tradition read more

Who doesn't like a good air show at the home of top gun fighter school? So glad that it was back in 2022 and their is a free general admission option. They don't make it easy on photographers since no bags or backpacks are allowed unless they are small and see through but you can bring a wagon to haul your stuff and they allow tripods. The various performers put on great demonstrations and of course at the end it is the us navy blue angels. I think the announcement said at 1 point they are 18 inches away from each other. Wow, talk about precision and skill. Great way to see live action of the planes and helicopters it also plenty are parked on the ground so you can get close and personal. There are food vendors and portapottys unless you pay for one of the tickets to the nicer areas. read more

We had a great time taking pics of all the aircraft, tanks etc and enjoyed the tech expo. Couple of suggestions for those who may go next year- know it will be hot so make sure you have sunscreen (they have sunscreen there) a hat, sunglasses, and ear protection (which they sell there for 2 bucks). Lots of drinks, food and icecream which was yummy. Parking was easy with a slight walk to admission. We took clear bags that we purchased from amazon which worked perfectly for us. Cant wait for next years. read more

It's the Airshow again! Once a year the MIRAMAR MARINE BASE holds an Airshow and the Base is open for the public to watch this show. This 2022 the Airshow is on Sept. 23 to Sept .25 from 8 am to 4 pm. We love coming here every year, we see a lot of Aircrafts displayed on the ground and for some of them we can go inside the Aircraft. Their aircraft exhibition in the Air is spectacular. We love the BLUE ANGELS!!! They are the Highlight of the Airshow! We didn't have a hard time going into the Miramar Base, there was no traffic at all when we parked our car and when we lined up to the Shuttle in order to get to the Main area for the Airshow. Just a reminder that when going inside the Airshow area there is a bag inspection and only CLEAR BAGS or CLEAR plastics are allowed with you to carry your belongings, or if you can put your things in your pockets. A Few years back if your bag was small you were okay to go, but this time your bag needs to be a CLEAR BAG. If u don't have any Clear bags they sell some on the premises. The SHUTTLE will not drop you off exactly at the main entrance, you need to walk a bit more in order to get in. Going in is Fast, but when we were going home it took us 1 hour just to get to the shuttle that goes back to the parking lot where everyone's car was. Maybe it took that long 'coz we went home when the Airshow was closing. Other than that we enjoyed the show, the Aircraft Displays, and a few of the stands of souvenirs and food. Tomorrow, SUNDAY SEPT. 25, is the last day of the Airshow this year, so come down to the MIRAMAR MARINE BASE and enjoy the Airshow! read more
Awesome air show with lots to see. Be sure to wear lots of sunscreen and wear comfortable shoes, because there'll be a ton of walking, and bring plenty of water and earplugs. The infamous Blue Angels never cease to impress. It might take a bit of time to get on base and off base due to the crowds, but it's definitely worth it. There's metal detectors and they search your bags when you first enter. read more
**Know before you go** - You need to bring an ID otherwise they won't let you into the event! I had no idea (but makes sense given its on a military base) - Also bring SO MUCH SUNSCREEN, hats - I'm not sure if it's allowed (you'll need to check the website), but if possible, bring umbrellas for shade and chairs to sit on (unless you are purchasing a physical seat ticket) Despite living in San Diego my whole life, I've never been to the Miramar Air Show! And I was delighted to find out that it can be accessed entirely FREE! That is so great for kids and families. We had actually bought VIP tickets to get front row seats, but you don't *need* to buy seats. However buying seats will let you into the actual show area and will give you the best, unobstructed views. But obviously, since it's an air show, you can see 90% of the show even if you are not in the actual show seating area. I will say, it is pretty brutal that it is during the beginning of September when it is still peak summer. It was so so so hot and I got sunburned so badly T_T read more
This air show was amazing! Thanks to every person who was working there in that incredible hot weather! We got the most expensive tickets and believe me it worth every penny we spent! We been there for 8 hours, the gate to our sitting opened at 9 am, we had a breakfast/lunch/drinks included, the food was good and they had plenty choices of drinks and it's all unlimited. They also had own restrooms for us. So much stuff to see around! We got some free presents ( including hats, bracelets and some more little things ). EVERY ONE! PLEASE MAKE SURE TO BRING SUNSCREEN WITH YOU! The show? OMG! It was amazing!!!! We enjoyed every little thing of that show! And blue angels was a great finish of the show! Thank you guys so much for your service! I'll be back for sure! read more
WE LOVE OUR MILITARY! The Miramar Air Show is a huge San Diego tradition that dates back many decades. I used to come with my dad, and now I bring my son to the air show. The air show is much more than a simple airplane display. It is very festive and fun with lots of displays to try out. There is a ton of food, beer, and wine with unique things to do like test drive a fast car. You can sit inside a modern tank. You can look inside a B-29. You can't beat the price. It was free parking and free entry. The military staff was very courteous and professional. We tried the Semper Fi Chalet at the center front part of the flight line. This VIP Chalet includes unlimited sodas, water, beer and wine. Also, they had several buffet stations for a continental breakfast and hearty lunch. Lunch was pulled pork BBQ sandwiches, hot dogs, pasta salad, salad, chips, and desert. There was great staff there. We loved the experience and will definitely do it again next year. You get to watch the show with nothing in your way because you are in the front. You're in the shade under the large tent and you have refreshments close to you. Private port potties are a nice touch. Although, its expensive... you get preferred parking and unlimited food and drinks. We thought it was well worth it for any aviation fans. read more

This review is for the Semper Fi chalet and not the air show itself. The air show is 5 stars all the way. My husband loves the blue angels. But I wanted to leave a review for the Chalet since I was researching all over the internet for pics and reviews for this VIP experience before I plopped $155pp on this. First off. Cons; -No preferred parking included this year that was available previous years. -don't expect good seats with shade if you're even an hour late. Everyone reserves the shaded seats and no one sits on them the rest of the day. You can sit inside the tent, but it's pointless since you can't see anything. People are also rude about sharing spaces, even when no one is sitting there. Not really the Chalet's fault but people are just more entitled since they paid for a ticket I guess. My set up in the free section is more comfortable. -food was ok, not worth $155. You can spend $155 pp on vendors at the show and would end up with an amazing array of meals and snacks and drinks. Way better options. PROS; -you're definitely show center. We were able to see parts of the air show we haven't seen sitting in the free section -all you can drink, includes beer and wine We're not drinkers, so we only took advantage of the soda and water. Not really worth the cost of our ticket. If you drink, this may be worth the cost. They only let you order 2 drinks at a time -your own porta potty section, so no long walks to bathroom and no waits -you don't have to bring much with you since you'll have all your seats, food, and drinks provided. OVERALL: I think the experience was not worth the price they charge of $155pp. You can set up a better situation for yourself with a lot less. I think the tickets for the stands which is better viewing and then just getting your own food and drinks is gonna get you better set up. I would sit at the top to and bring an umbrella. I added photos to help with the visuals read more

Would you recommend grandstand or box seats more?
Grand stands if you want the best views. But you'll be under the sun the whole time. Box seats…
Are ice chests allowed if they stay in the car?
Yes it is. However depending on where you park it could be a long ways walk to get a cold drink from your car and main event. Cold drinks are available during the show.
Can I take a hydro flask with water into the event?
Yes, I saw people carrying them in
Anyone know what food options they offer at the air show?
Lots of options, like a carnival. Lots of food trucks like CPK, hot dogs, sandwiches, etc
I am aware that you must either hold belongings or carry them in a clear bag when attending the air show, but does anyone know if they had clear bags for sale last year?
They are selling clear bags at the gate for $5 (2022 air show)
Do I need to purchase tickets for the 2017 Air Show? I am on the website and it keeps saying that the tickets will go on sale June 1 at 10am...it's not directing me to any link or site where I can purchase the tickets.
