Though both events are free to attend, a limited number of reserved seating tickets are available for the 2021 Owensboro Air Show and HydroFair, which will take place on consecutive weekends in August.
The Owensboro Air Show is Aug. 14-15 and will feature a pair of high-profile performance teams — the U.S. Navy Blue Angels and the Lightning II Demonstration Team, both of which will showcase fighter jets among other aircraft.
The Owensboro HydroFair is set for Aug. 21-11. It was announced last week that the HydroFair is now an even more high-profile event after being designated to host the North American Championships for the American Powerboat Association.
