The Abbotsford International Airshow is held each August at Abbotsford International Airport in the Fraser Valley, about an hour east of Vancouver. Expect military and civilian flying displays, a huge static park where you can look around the inside and outside of the aircraft, a food truck festival and a hands-on STEM zone with flight simulators for kids. Tickets for 2027 go on sale in early spring and the performer line-up is announced from early 2027. The show tends to sell out, so it’s worth signing up for the organisers’ Insider list if you want first go at tickets.

Dates: Friday 6 to Sunday 8 August 2027.
