LONG ISLAND - The annual Jones Beach Air Show will kick off this Memorial Day Weekend, specifically Saturday, May 24 and Sunday, May 25.
Here's everything you need to know to enjoy the show:
When and where to watch the show
The 2025 FourLeaf Air Show will take place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on both days at Jones Beach State Park.
Ways to watch the air show
You can either spectate the show from the beach or from a boat.
Jones Beach State Park is an optimal vantage point to see the performance.
If you would prefer to watch the show from the ocean, taking a boat out to Zach's Bay is the way to go.
Performance line-up
The headliners of the show are the United States Air Force Thunderbirds – this performance will mark their tenth appearance as headliners for the air show.
Other performers include the United States Army Parachute Team, also known as the Golden Knights, and the United States Navy F-35C Demo Team. The full list of performers can be found here.
A performance schedule is not provided because times are subject to change due to weather or other circumstances beyond the control of the FourLeaf Air Show.
