In late 2014, just before he took office, Mayor Pete Panepinto heard the desires of many Hammond residents and began planning to bring the Airshow back. Mayor Pete is a pilot and aviation enthusiast who knew the process wouldn’t be easy. A group of passionate community volunteers and many generous sponsors, such as presenting sponsor First Guaranty Bank, ensured the success of the phenomenal 2018 Airshow. More exciting acts and attractions came with the 2021 Airshow, after a COVID delay.
Now be prepared to have your breath taken away with this year’s 2023 Airshow!
