Pacific Airshow
Friday 14 August 2026
Surfers Paradise
High-octane aerial performances, non-stop beachside entertainment, and a buzzing atmosphere you won't find anywhere else, all over three unforgettable days.
From the roar of the RAAF F-35A Lightning II (Sat &Sun only) and the incredible Yak-110 to the heart-stopping flight of the Gravity Industries Jet Suits (UK) right before your eyes, you'll be at the centre of the action with unbeatable views and immersive entertainment all day long. Meet your aviation heroes during exclusive TSS Performer Signing Sessions, hear every moment through our world-class live commentary, and enjoy real-time pilot interviews as the action unfolds overhead.
But the excitement doesn't stop in the sky. Wander through the all-new NXTGN STEM LAB, catch Bluey & Bingo's live interactive shows, watch elite skateboarders send it on the Half Pipe, let the kids loose in the action-packed Kids Zone, get hands-on with giant excavators at Dig IT, meet roaming dinosaurs and other surprise entertainers, browse official merchandise, and soak up the electric atmosphere with competitions, giveaways, beach bars and an incredible line-up of local food vendors.
If it's luxury you're after, Pacific Airshow has levelled up its beachfront hospitality experiences and you'll want to lock them in fast. From the stylish new Garden Bar and all-inclusive Beach Club to private Cabanas and premium Chalets, there's an unforgettable experience for every group size and budget. Beach Club guests can keep the good times rolling with the all-new Beach Club Ballads, featuring a live piano singalong and blockbuster movie-inspired entertainment, before the party continues with exclusive Sunset Sessions in the Garden Bar on Friday and Saturday.
Whether you're a die-hard aviation fan, a beach lover, or looking for the ultimate day out with friends or family, this is your chance to experience Australia's most spectacular beachfront festival. Don't settle for watching from afar. Step inside the action, feel the atmosphere, and discover why the ticketed precinct is where Pacific Airshow truly comes to life.
