The sounds of fighter jets have returned to downtown after last year's cancelation of the Cleveland National Air Show.
Organizers were forced to cancel the 2013 air show because of federal budget cuts. But this Cleveland Labor Day tradition is back for its 50th year and features the Blue Angels.
Tickets are
$21 in advance and $23 at the gate for adults. Kids ages 6 to 11 are
$14 in advance and $16 at the gate. Admission is free for children 5 and
under. On-site parking is $15.
That can cost a family of four nearly $100. There are a few places to
check out the aerial acrobatics of the show for free. That does mean
missing out on the World War II warbirds and other cool displays.
Voinovich Park
Located at the end of East 9th Street and just west of Burke
Lakefront Airport, Voinovich Park is a prime location to see the stunt
planes. It does get pretty packed, so be prepared for crowds.
Edgewater Park
The Blue Angels fly along Lake Erie to Lakewood during practice and
performances. The Navy's demonstration squad is the last act of the air
show each day at 5 p.m. If you hear them, they've already gone by.
East 55th Marina
This North Marginal Road spot is typically less crowded than the
parks mentioned above, but still has great views. Stick around after the
air show on Saturday for live music starting at 8 p.m.
Whiskey Island
Want to see world-class pilots and enjoy a cold beer at the same time? Park yourself at a picnic table at Sunset Bar and Grille.
Lakefront Municipal Parking Lot
That's right, the muni lot is used for things other than tailgating
before Browns games. This option will cost you for parking. The city
charges up to $20 for special events.
