Key Takeaways:

The Wings Over Washington Air Show has relocated to Bremerton National Airport (KWPT) after its previous venue faced resident complaints about noise and safety, and objections from airport businesses.
The new Bremerton location provides significantly more space, enabling a more interactive experience for attendees to meet pilots, accommodating larger aircraft, and offering potential for future show expansion including military demonstration teams.
Scheduled for August 19-20, the event will feature static aircraft displays, a car show, food, music, and will celebrate Bremerton's rich Navy heritage.

The Wings Over Washington Air Show is back—with a diversion. This year the event will be held at Bremerton National Airport (KWPT). In previous years the event was held at Tacoma Narrows Airport (KTIW) in Gig Harbor some 15 miles to the southeast of Bremerton.

The annual event used to be held on July 4 and combined an airshow over the Tacoma waterfront with a car show and aircraft on static display at KTIW. Billed as family-friendly entertainment, the event was popular with nonprofit organizations and clubs as the combination aircraft static display, car show, food vendors, and beer garden attracted thousands of people.
