California Capital Airshow Announces Night Show And Concert

Show Will Celebrate Mather Airport’s 100th Birthday

The California Capital Airshow (CCA) has announced details for its planned Airshow After Dark, a nighttime extravaganza of flying, fireworks and music amid an aviation-themed festival atmosphere of family fun and entertainment. The evening, which begins at 5 pm on Friday, September 21, commemorates Mather Airport’s 100th birthday and is offered with the Weekend Ticket Bundle package, on sale starting June 14, that includes general admission tickets to the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds-headlined airshows on September 22 and 23.

In addition to a thrilling display of pyrotechnic-infused aerobatic stunts overhead, Airshow After Dark includes miles of aircraft displays featuring fully-restored warbirds, massive cargo airplanes and military aircraft as well as interactive STEM exhibits, immersive activities and virtual reality experiences designed to inspire future aviators and innovators. History comes to life with the Mather 100 Museum. A temporary exhibit curated exclusively for the California Capital Airshow, it offers a literal walk through the Mather gates where the historic airfield began its legacy of service to the nation and Sacramento region. The evening culminates with an explosive Wall of Fire, a mesmerizing fireworks display and a heart-thumping concert by premier dance band, “Wonder Bread 5”.

“This year, the California Capital Airshow lineup leaves nothing on the table,” said Darcy Brewer, executive director, CCA. “Whether you’re a thrill seeker, a history buff, a young person interested in STEM or an aviation enthusiast, this family-friendly festival offers endless entertainment, attractions, music, food and so much more. And we’re so excited to be able to offer the Weekend Ticket Bundle for folks who just can’t get enough airshow!”

Headlined by the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds Demonstration Squadron, on September 22 and 23, the weekend airshows offer a lineup that promises to keep audiences on the edge of their seats. Spectators can look forward to exhilarating performances from the Air Force Heritage Flight featuring the F-35 Lightning II, the internationally acclaimed U.S. Army Golden Knights Parachute Team, Canadian Forces CF-18 Hornet, and an awe-inspiring lineup of world-class civilian aerobatic performers.
