Plans Are Well Underway For The 2021 California Capital Airshow Scheduled For September 25-26
Hardly a day goes by without another aero-event cancellation... some of them by a few of the best in the business...
A case in point... "After more than a year of planning the 2020 California Capital Airshow, presented by Sacramento County in partnership with the City of Rancho Cordova, it is with heavy hearts that we announce the cancellation of this year’s event scheduled for October 3-4.
The safety of our guests, performers, exhibitors and volunteers is always our top priority. This is demonstrated by the safe and successful airshows we have hosted for the past 14 years. We explored numerous options with our partners to provide a highly modified and socially distant event that would also work within established COVID-19 public health parameters.
Unfortunately, we are not fully confident we can minimize the coronavirus risk to a level that meets our standards for health and safety. Please know we did not want to let you down – but ultimately, it is the right call for the safety of everyone.
The California Capital Airshow Board of Directors would like to thank ALL our partners at the state, county and local levels for helping us do everything possible to deliver a safe and responsible event. We all put in many hours towards a workable solution, and we are all deeply and equally saddened.
Despite this disappointing news, plans are well underway for the 2021 California Capital Airshow, which is scheduled for September 25-26 featuring the world-famous United States Air Force Thunderbirds! Until then, as a nonprofit organization, we will turn our attention back to the mission of inspiring the next generation through free educational programs and scholarships, as well as honoring our region’s rich aviation heritage.
We are tremendously grateful for your patience, support and encouragement during these trying times. Although we will miss our big and crazy airshow family, our team will use this time to make next year better than ever before. Can’t wait to see you in 2021 – be ready to celebrate!"
