Pacific Airshow Gold Coast: Australia’s Biggest Beachfront Spectacle
Since launching in Huntington Beach, California, in 2016, Pacific Airshow has become the most attended airshow in the United States — and the only one in the world with two editions. This August, Pacific Airshow Gold Coast brings that world-class experience to Australia for the first time.
What Is Pacific Airshow Gold Coast?
Pacific Airshow Gold Coast is a three-day event running 14–16 August, packed with jaw-dropping aerobatic displays, VIP meet-and-greets, social parties, and family-friendly fun in a licensed ticketed precinct. With over 270,000 spectators expected, it’s set to become the largest airshow ever held in Australia.
This isn’t a typical airshow. It’s a large-scale celebration of mateship, family, and adrenaline-charged aviation, fused with sport, entertainment, art, and technology — all set against a stunning beachfront backdrop.
