The KeyBank Air Show and Chevrolet Cup are the culmination of the month-long Seafair Festival and is undoubtedly the "Seafair weekend" that thousands look forward to each Summer. The action-packed three-day party includes the fastest powerboats in the world, the Unlimited Hydroplanes, the U.S. Navy Blue Angels, fabulous northwest food and a spectacular Saturday evening fireworks show.

For many though across the Pacific Northwest, summer and Seafair reach their pinnacle as the six pilots behind the yokes of the "Blue" Boeing F/A-18 Hornets make their thunderous and spectacular appearance at the KeyBank Air Show presented by Boeing. Look skyward, run to the window or pull the car over, the Blue Angels will be soaring above Seafair again in 2009, July 31-August 2.

Summer's Hottest Ticket Offers a Weekend of Family Fun

Added to the unforgettable action in the sky, Seafair weekend also provides thrill seekers with the incredible Chevrolet Cup Hydroplane Race, Genesee Park filled with food & festival vendors, wine & beer gardens, prime water viewing, a Saturday night concert and fireworks!

In addition to the Blue Angels, the KeyBank Air Show at Seafair will also feature spectacular civilian and military performers, some new and some returning favorites to astound the Lake Washington audience.
