BREVARD COUNTY • COCOA BEACH, FLORIDA – The United States Navy Blue Angels are officially scheduled to headline the 2026 Cocoa Beach Air Expo, bringing their world-renowned aerial performance to Florida’s Space Coast next spring.
Organizers announced that the elite flight demonstration squadron will perform during the weekend of April 11-12, 2026.
The Cocoa Beach Air Expo, a free event open to the public, will once again transform the beachfront into a prime viewing area for some of the most thrilling aviation displays in the world.
The Blue Angels, who have thrilled millions of spectators since 1946, will showcase their precision maneuvers in the powerful Boeing F/A-18 Super Hornets.
Their performance will highlight the Air Expo’s lineup, which is expected to feature a range of military and civilian aircraft displays, acrobatic acts, and static exhibits.
The 2026 show will mark the Blue Angels’ first appearance in Cocoa Beach since 2021, when they participated in the Space Coast International Air Show.
Thousands are expected to flock to the beaches to witness the high-speed passes, tight formations, and aerobatic feats that have made the Blue Angels one of the world’s premier aerial teams.
Local officials are working closely with event organizers to coordinate parking, shuttle transportation, and public safety for the two-day event, anticipating record-breaking crowds.
More details, including the full performer lineup, parking information, and safety guidelines, will be released in the coming months.
Founded shortly after World War II to inspire public interest in naval aviation, the Blue Angels have performed for more than 500 million spectators worldwide.
Their appearance at the Cocoa Beach Air Expo 2026 will celebrate 80 years of the squadron’s history and excellence.
