Excitement is already building across the Lakeland as tickets for the 2026 Cold Lake Air Show officially went on sale December 1st—more than 200 days before jets roar over the skies of Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Cold Lake once again.

One of Canada’s top aviation events, the Cold Lake Air Show draws tens of thousands of spectators from across the country thanks to its standout programming, world-class performers, and the unique opportunity to experience aviation up close on an active Royal Canadian Air Force base.

While organizers have yet to unveil this year’s performer lineup, expectations are sky-high. Previous editions have attracted some of the biggest names in aerial demonstration, including Italy’s world-renowned Frecce Tricolori, the Canadian Forces Snowbirds, the United States Air Force F-35 Demo Team, and crowd-pleasing CF-18 demonstrations from the Royal Canadian Air Force.

Early Bird pricing is now in effect and will remain available until March 31st—making now the perfect time to secure your spot before prices increase. Tickets can be purchased here.

The 2026 Cold Lake Air Show will run July 18th and 19th, offering two full days of jaw-dropping aerobatics, static displays, family activities, and the energy that makes this event a favourite among aviation enthusiasts of all ages.

Mark your calendars—and get your tickets while Early Bird savings last!
