SUN ‘n FUN Aerospace Expo

SUN ‘n FUN Aerospace Expo is BACK in 2021 and we are excited about this highly anticipated spring event, April 13-18. Below you’ll find event information, links to area hotels, ticket info, our video about spending a weekend (or WEEK) in Lakeland.

SUN ‘n FUN Aerospace Expo is an Annual Event

From its humble beginnings in 1974 as a fly-in for sport aviation enthusiasts, the SUN ‘n FUN Aerospace Expo has grown into one of the largest and most successful aviation events in the world. This event is Florida’s largest annual convention of any kind, and each year over 200,000 visitors flock to Lakeland for what has become known as Aviation’s Season Opener or Spring Break for Pilots.

Each spring, pilots flying into the convention enjoy a showcase of hundreds of aircraft on display from of all shapes and sizes. Aircraft areas include Vintage, Homebuilt, Aerobatic, Warbird, Jet, and Light Sport. In addition to aircraft on display, SUN ‘n FUN also features the following:

  • Over 500 exhibitors include an incredible lineup of products and services.
  • Hands-on workshops teach hundreds of building and maintenance skills.
  • Dozens of forums educate pilots and maintainers about safety, new products, and an infinite number of other timely topics.

Not just for pilots, SUN ‘n FUN has STEM and Career Fair activities, plus a Family Fun Zone. The event’s world-famous daily and night airshows feature breathtaking displays from dozens of military and civilian performers.
