The World’s Greatest Aviation Celebration is living up to its moniker, as EAA AirVenture Oshkosh has received the title of 2026 Best Air Show in online voting during the USA Today 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards.
“Every year, our team strives to make EAA AirVenture an experience unlike any other aviation event in the world,” said Rick Larsen, EAA’s vice president of communities and member programs, who coordinates AirVenture features and attractions. “This recognition reflects how what we call Aviation’s Family Reunion creates an event that brings together aircraft and people in a way that is unmatched anywhere in the world. It’s a credit to our people, including the thousands of volunteers that make EAA AirVenture possible.”
EAA AirVenture 2025 saw a record-breaking total attendance of 704,000 from more than 90 countries. More than 10,000 aircraft flew into Wittman Regional Airport (KOSH) in Wisconsin for the show.
Nominees for USA Today 10Best awards are compiled by a panel of industry experts and 10Best editors. The nominees are then presented to the public to vote for the winner over a month-long period that ended in late April. AirVenture previously was voted the Best Air Show in 2016.
The 2026 show runs July 20-26.
