One of the character traits of aviators is that we like to plan—in advance. Sometimes several years in advance. For this reason, it shouldn’t be a surprise that the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) has released the dates of the next four AirVenture fly-in conventions, also known as Oshkosh,’ at Wittman Regional Airport (KOSH) in Wisconsin.
The upcoming dates are:
- 2024: July 22-28
- 2025: July 21-27
- 2026: July 20-26
- 2027: July 26-August 1
For the aviation community, Oshkosh represents the highlight of the year. So much so that other life events, such as weddings, retirements, and even pregnancies, are planned around it. The EAA recognizes this, according to Jack Pelton, EAA CEO and chairman of the board.
“We wanted to announce the dates for the next several years, so people can plan for their trips to Oshkosh,” said Pelton, adding that there are other events in Wisconsin in the summer that sometimes also conflict with or overlap with AirVenture, so it is important to lock down the dates now.

About AirVenture
What began as a few airplanes meeting in Milwaukee and later Rockford, Illinois, has grown into the largest fly-in in the world. The annual event was moved to Oshkosh in 1970 because it had outgrown the other locations.
