Jesolo Air Show

Running since 1996 and now among the largest air displays in Italy, the Jesolo Air Show is flown over the sea in front of the town's eleven-kilometre beach, which becomes an open-air grandstand for a reported average of more than half a million spectators. The 2026 programme pairs the Frecce Tricolori with the United Arab Emirates team Fursan Al Emarat, returning to Jesolo for the first time since 2012 with Hongdu L-15s, alongside a Hungarian Defence Forces H145M, an Italian Air Force HH-139B, the Yakitalia formation team and historic aircraft from the Jonathan Collection. The show is broadcast live on RAI, for the sixth time in its history.

Free to attend, viewed along Jesolo's roughly 11km beachfront promenade — no tickets, gates or enclosed viewing area. Saturday 12 September is the main display; Friday 11 September carries a rehearsal flown to the same routine. As of this run the organiser had not yet published exact display start/end times ('full programme coming soon') or any parking/shuttle arrangements. Jesolo has no railway station of its own — the nearest are Venezia Mestre and San Donà di Piave, both linked to the resort by ATVO coach services. Past editions have drawn crowds reported in the hundreds of thousands along the seafront, so expect heavy traffic and arrive well ahead of the display.
