The Southeast Tourism Society (STS) has named the Florida International Air Show one of the Signature Events of the Southeast for 2024.
This year’s air show is slated for Nov. 2-3 in Punta Gorda, Florida.
Signature Events of the Southeast, formerly known as “Top 20 Festival and Event Awards,” was launched as part of the 40th anniversary celebration of the Southeast Tourism Society in 2023. STS has recognized events and festivals around the Southeast since 1985.
Travel industry experts select top events to be highlighted for the year, and STS publicizes them throughout the United States. For 2024, the Florida International Air Show is the only aviation event on the list, joining other events such as a blues festival, a rodeo, a BBQ competition, and more.
Celebrating its 43rd year, the three-day air show on the grounds of the Punta Gorda Airport (KPGD) also received a USA TODAY 10 Best Readers Choice Award for the 2023 show.
“If you’ve not been to an air show before, it’s like taking Nascar, pizza, baseball, hot dogs, fireworks, football, and Lynyrd Skynyrd and rolling it all into one giant rodeo,“ says Denise Dull, president of the Florida International Air Show. “There’s something for everyone in the family.”
