SEATTLE, WA – (December 10, 2024) – The U.S. Navy Blue Angels Flight Demonstration Squadron announced today that they will once again take to the skies above Lake Washington as the featured performers at the Boeing Seafair Air Show in 2025 & 2026. The announcement was made at the International Council of Air Shows (ICAS) convention in Las Vegas, Nevada. 

The 2025 and 2026 Boeing Seafair Air Shows will take place during the Seafair Weekend Festival: Friday, August 1 – Sunday, August 3, 2025, and Friday, July 31 – Sunday, August 2, 2026, on Lake Washington and at Genesee Park. Tickets for the festival will go on sale in early 2026. Attendees can look forward to the same flight box configuration as in 2025, ensuring that the I-90 Bridge and Seward Park remain open. 

Seafair Weekend is more than an air show—it’s a full-scale festival that captures the spirit of Seattle summers. Highlights include the Apollo Mechanical Cup Hydroplane Races, featuring high-speed action on the water, and the Boeing Seafair Air Show, headlined by the iconic U.S. Navy Blue Angels. Guests can also enjoy live music, a variety of food and drink options, and family-friendly activities throughout Genesee Park, along with vibrant beer gardens offering scenic lakeside views and refreshing beverages. Premium experiences like the Captain’s Club and The Deck provide unmatched access to the best seats and hospitality around Lake Washington. 

“Nothing says summer in Seattle quite like the roar of the Blue Angels overhead,” said Emily K. Cantrell, CEO of Seafair. “We love seeing the awe in every pair of eyes looking up at the sky. It’s such a treat to welcome the Blue Angels back to Lake Washington and share in the excitement they bring to our community. Their return is a highlight of the season and a perfect way to celebrate the spirit of Seafair.”

ABOUT SEAFAIR 

Since 1950, nothing has been more synonymous with summer in Seattle than Seafair.  Before the Seahawks and Mariners called Seattle home, before the 1962 World’s Fair that gave us the iconic Space Needle, Seattle celebrated Seafair.  Today, the non-profit Seafair has grown into a multi-week festival with events across the Puget Sound touching more than two million people.  Times may have changed since its inception, but the core values of Seafair remain dedicated to being a community and volunteer – driven festival and a catalyst for creating experiences that celebrate the best parts of living in the Emerald City.
