Salute America's heroes Memorial Day Weekend at the Hyundai Air & Sea Show® and Music Explosion™
The Hyundai Air & Sea Show returns to the skies of South Beach for its third annual celebration over Memorial Day Weekend, May 25 to 26. Known as “the greatest show above the earth,” head to the sands of Miami Beach and simply look up for the impressive aerial show of America’s military might featuring all five branches. Think, Blue Angels, Stealth Bombers and the US Army’s Golden Knights Parachute team. You’ll also enjoy the spectacle of offshore powerboat racing and extreme watersports demos. For the grand finale, hip-hop star and Miami native Flo Rida will headline the Music Explosion stage at Lummus Park on Ocean Drive on Sunday, May 26.
The Air & Sea Show
Designed as a national salute to America’s heroes, the brave men and women of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps and Coast Guard, as well as our nation’s first responders, The Air & Sea Show is a patriotic celebration perfect for Memorial Day Weekend in Miami. Watch from the beach in awe as America’s finest military equipment takes flight. You’ll witness an impressive aerial show with Blue Angels, Stealth Bombers, Lancer Bombers, HH60 Helicopters, Fighting Falcons and more performing stunts above Miami’s sparkling turquoise Atlantic Ocean. Keep your eyes peeled for the Army’s Black Dagger parachute team, Navy Leap Frogs and the Coast Guard Sea Rescue chopper, as well as the Tuskegee Airmen Redtail Squadron and Heritage Flight team. In addition to the spectacle in the air, watch the water for high-octane powerboat races, US Customs drug interdiction demos and more extreme watersports.
Music Explosion Starring Flo Rida at The Beach Club
When the Air & Sea Show winds down on Sunday afternoon, the Music Explosion stage at The Beach Club on Lummus Park heats up. With Flo Rida headlining, the concert begins at 4:30 p.m. and opening acts include Young Musicians Unite, the Army’s As You Were Band, the Air Force’s Max Impact Band and Honor Guard Drill team. The show culminates with a special nighttime pyro-parachute demonstration by the Army’s Golden Knights Parachute team and a spectacular fireworks extravaganza. Tickets for the concert start at $25.
