Key Takeaways:

The Wings Over Washington Air Show has relocated from Tacoma Narrows Airport to Bremerton National Airport after its cancellation last year due to local noise/safety complaints and business disruptions.
Bremerton National Airport offers significantly more space, accommodating larger static displays, jet operations, increased interaction between attendees and pilots, and potential for future military demonstration teams.
Scheduled for August 19-20, the show will feature vintage aircraft displays, vintage aircraft rides, a car show benefiting aviation scholarships, food, music, and other community activities.

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.
