During the Comox Air Show, personal camera equipment, including long range telephoto lenses will not be restricted. Attendees are reminded to always stay within prescribed viewing areas, and to respect the boundaries of fellow Air Show spectators. Visitors to the Comox Air Show are encouraged to enjoy the show as much as possible but to always keep safety at the top of their minds.
Unfortunately we are not permitting visitors to bring their pets with them to the Air Show. If visiting the area from out of town, we encourage you to leave your pets at home with a neighbor, friend or to an accredited and trusted kennel service and to not leave them in your parked vehicle. Service animals are permitted so long as they have proper markings and/or identification.
We encourage those wishing to take alternate forms of transportation to the Air Show to do so. As a way of making this initiative more accessible and easier, bike racks will be positioned near the bus gate to the show. Please visit the site map on the website to locate the bike area.

The Comox Air Show appreciates this event is a unique opportunity to showcase and highlight a number of local and regional businesses, and thanks all vendor requests for their interest in becoming involved. The primary goal of the Comox Air Show is to put on a world class Air Show and to invite the local communities to interact with our military team. In order to reach our goal, our plan is to focus on delivering and enabling services which will enhance the air display experience for all spectators. For this year’s show, we will not be hosting any vendors outside those who provide food services or are directly linked to the Department of National Defence.
A limited number of disabled parking spaces will be reserved close to the entrance gates for Air Show guests with a valid disabled parking placard. Once parked, you can either make your way to the entrance gate on your own, or flag down one of the many golf carts passing through the parking area. Golf carts do not constitute a shuttle service, and will be available on a first come, first served basis only. Please keep in mind once a golf cart is requested, it may take several minutes for one to pick you up; we appreciate your patience as we work to serve all Air Show guests equally.
