The next Barksdale Air Force Base Air Show & Open House will take place April 3–4, 2027.
The Barksdale Air Force Base Air Show & Open House is a premier biennial event that welcomes more than 100,000 visitors from across the region and beyond. The free, two-day event offers rare public access to the installation, giving attendees the opportunity to experience military aviation up close through aerial performances, static aircraft displays, pilot meet-and-greets, and interactive educational experiences.
Featuring headline performers, military demonstration teams, aerobatic acts, and historic warbirds, the air show highlights the strength and heritage of America’s air power while showcasing the home of the B-52 bomber.
The event also delivers significant economic and community impact for the Shreveport-Bossier region through tourism, hospitality, public engagement, and military recruitment opportunities.
The President’s Club is an exclusive corporate membership tier that supports the BAFB community initiatives and the Defenders of Liberty Air Show. Membership provides access to a private hospitality tent featuring locally inspired catering, along with premium front-row viewing of world-class aerial aerobatics and the impressive power of military aircraft demonstrations.
