After a six-year hiatus, the North Little Rock Airshow is back at the North Little Rock Municipal Airport: and it’s bigger and better than ever.

Organizers recently announced the addition of a “night” show on Friday, October 21 (evening before the day airshow on Saturday, October 22). The show will feature special twilight acrobatic performances and acts like a GhostWriter Airshows LED and fireworks show.

Gates open at 4 p.m. for the Friday evening airshow. Tickets are $20 and available for purchase online. Tickets will be available for purchase at the gate for $25. Children seven and under are free. VIP tickets are also available for $180 and will be honored at both the Friday night and Saturday day shows.

The North Little Rock Airshow on Saturday, October 22, will be an all-day affair with intense, entertaining aerial demonstrations by nationally recognized aerial acts as well as a jet truck, parachute team, military aircraft and equipment, scale model aircraft demonstrations, and more! A kid’s zone will include bounce houses and STEM projects and activities with the Arkansas Regional Innovation Hub and other local agencies.

Also new this year, the Hometown Hero Award will recognize a military or first responder living in Arkansas. The North Little Rock Airshow and Russell Chevrolet are accepting nominations for real heroes with a story to tell.
