EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE 2014 LEHIGH VALLEY AIRSHOW
   
As the 2014 Lehigh Valley Airshow approaches, officials at Lehigh Valley International Airport are confident that this year’s show will be better than the last.

Airshow gates open at 9 AM both Saturday and Sunday.  Flying is scheduled to begin around noon and last roughly four hours each day.  Gates will remain open through 6 PM.  An official performer schedule will not be published until the day of the show, but will be available in the Official LV Airshow Program.

New for this year:

*There will be 25 different food vendors at this year’s show.  With a wide variety of options ranging from Aw Shucks Corn, Red Robin, Take a Taco and more!  This number is more than triple the amount of stands for the 2013 show.  Cash and credit will be accepted at all locations.

*Additional entrances will allow guests to more efficiently enter and exit the airshow grounds.  There will be 3 entrances off of Race Street, for a total of 5 entrances into the airshow.  Those with reserved or ADA parking should enter Fashion Drive.  Those parking in general parking areas can access lots both East and West of Fashion Drive, from Catasauqua or from Airport Road.   A map is available on Lehighvalleyairshow.com. ALL PARKING WILL BE ON SITE.

*The spectator area has been shifted to include area on both sides of the static display area, allowing for better viewing vantages and additional space.

*Reserved seating is available at show center for a cost of $10.  This price gives you access throughout the day to come and go, as well as having a seat to sit and enjoy the show.  For those not wishing to purchase reserved seating, outside chairs will be permitted.
