Nightlife At Oshkosh is NOT To Be Missed!
Famous aviators, astronauts, and innovators are among those participating in this year’s Theater in the Woods evening programs, one of most popular annual features at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh.
The evening programs, which are scheduled from Sunday, July 25, through Saturday, July 31, bring these personalities to Theater in the Woods for presentations and conversations that have been a unique part of AirVenture for 50 years.
"We consistently hear from EAA members that some of their most vivid memories of Oshkosh are those evening programs where they can see aviation history-makers up-close, telling stories that they may not hear anywhere else," said Rick Larsen, EAA's vice president of communities and member programs, who coordinates AirVenture features and attractions.
"The variety and high level of guests at this year’s evening programs stays with that long tradition at Theater in the Woods."
