Active and retired military service members, DoD civilian employees, first responders, and their families are invited to join Marine Corps Base Hawaii for an exclusive preview of the Kaneohe Bay Air Show and Open House on Friday, 8 August 2025.

The Joint Forces Event will feature a full dress rehearsal showcasing the precision and power of professional performers. Food and beverage vendors, as well as static displays and a STEM Zone will also be available to enjoy.

As we all benefit from the Air Show, we welcome military card holders to personally observe the nation's premier aviation demonstration teams to garner a better understanding of the forces we help to support. To take advantage of this free Military and Family Appreciation Day, present your Common Access Card (CAC) at the main gate of Marine Corps Base Hawaii on August 8^th to experience the Air Show without the large crowds prior to the public events.

Mandatory ID Verification at Air Show Pedestrian Entry Gates

To ensure the safety and security of all guests, 100% identification checks will be conducted at the pedestrian entry gates to the air show grounds. All adults aged 18 and older must present a valid government-issued photo ID displaying their full name to be permitted entry. Guests who are unable to provide proper identification at the pedestrian entry gates will be denied entry.

We appreciate your cooperation in helping us maintain a secure and enjoyable environment for everyone.

We hope you will join us!
