2016 / Newsmaker Alert / The
California Capital Airshow
(CCA), presented by Sacramento County, in partnership with the City of
Rancho Cordova, is ready to paint the town Blue and Gold with the arrival
of the world famous U.S. Navy Blue Angels! The Airshow will open its gates
the weekend of October 1st and 2nd at Mather Airport with a heart-pounding
lineup of performances and entertainment for the whole family. A variety
of pre-sale ticket options are available online now here.
To
kick-off the fun filled weekend and celebrate Navy Week Sacramento 2016,
the Airshow will host a Performer Meet and Greet on Friday, September 30th,
with a FREE ‘Paint the Town Blue and Gold’ block party from 6:30 p.m. to
8:30 p.m. Fans are encouraged to come meet the Blue Angels, hangout with
their favorite Airshow performer and the Kings Dancers, win door prizes,

take selfies and so much more. The block party will be located in midtown
at 1050 20th Street in Sacramento between J and K Streets. Tell your friends
as this is going to be a party to remember!
 In addition to the awe-inspiring Blue Angels performances on Saturday and Sunday - October 1st and 2nd - the skies over Sacramento will be screaming with the likes of the US Army Golden Knights, Royal Canadian Air Force CF-18 Hornet Demo, US Air Force F-16 Viper, ‘FIFI’, the iconic B-29 Superfortress and more. Fans won’t want to miss our nod to honoring the 75th anniversary of Pearl Harbor with an emotional tribute that will showcase the service, sacrifice and heroism demonstrated during the activities throughout the Pacific theater during WWII. This theatrical production will be emotionally narrated and beautifully choreographed to music with thundering pyrotechnics. For a complete list of performers visit the website here. But the fun certainly doesn’t stop here! While entertainment in the sky is endless, it continues on the ground:
Bring your sunscreen, hats, and comfortable shoes, because the Airshow is ready for takeoff! Gates open Saturday and Sunday at 9:00 a.m. and close at 5:00 p.m. each day – flying will begin around noon. The much-anticipated show features tons of jet noise, jaw-dropping aerobatics, stomach-churning aerial jumps, and gravity defying routines that will leave you speechless and wanting more! “The Airshow is a fantastic value for a full day of fun and the memories made will last a lifetime. Once inside the gates, you’ll be amazed at the abundance of entertainment on the ground and in the sky!” added Brewer. Airshow tickets are on sale now here.
