Thunderbirds to return in 2024 for Milwaukee Air & Water Show

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- The Milwaukee Air & Water Show makes a return July 27-28, 2024 to McKinley Park and Bradford Beach. 

The show -- presented by WaterStone Bank -- celebrates veterans, first responders, members of the armed services, and their families.

After a five-year hiatus, the USAF Thunderbirds will headline the show, with six demonstration pilots flying the venerable Lockheed F-16 Fighting Falcon. Founded in 1953, the squadron has performed for more than 280 million people in all 50 states and 57 foreign countries.

Also making a return after a six-year absence, the United States Army Parachute Team nicknamed the Golden Knights, and the world’s premier military parachute team, will return for this year's show. 

“We are excited to return as the title sponsor of the Air & Water Show featuring the Air Force Thunderbirds” said Bill Bruss, President of WaterStone Bank. “The event is a summer staple enjoyed by families in our community and throughout the state.”
