We pride ourselves on being completely honest and transparent with you. Before we move forward with promoting the event further, we have some tough news to share. We just received word that, despite being selected as a showsite and officially approved by the DoD for a performance in Battle Creek this 4th of July, the US Navy F/A-18F Rhino Demo Team will no longer be able to join us. All Navy Demo Teams have received new orders for that weekend. They are being pulled from all previously scheduled appearances nationwide to support the Great American Air Show in Washington, D.C., as well as a major flyover for America’s 250th celebrations in New York City. While this is disappointing for us all, we want you to know how tirelessly we’ve been working behind the scenes. Securing military aerial assets this year has been uniquely challenging. For America's 250th, Washington, D.C., is going beyond their usual large fireworks display and introducing a massive aerial event. The Battle Creek Field of Flight has always been a 4th of July event, and celebrating over the holiday is a deeply rooted tradition for our area. Therefore, we will not move off of our dates to secure additional assets. We have always been a 4th of July show, and we will not be changing that anytime soon. As a result of staying true to our dates, we are competing directly with those unprecedented celebrations on the East Coast. We have reached out to multiple squadrons and operators of incredibly rare warbirds (including a very rare jet warbird), but all are already committed to the large-scale events in D.C. and NYC. Despite these challenges, we are incredibly confident in the incredible lineup we have built. We are ready to celebrate America's 250th, Battle Creek style! Get ready for an amazing five days of family entertainment, thrilling displays in the air, and massive fun on the ground. We will miss hosting the Rhino Demo Team but are hopeful that they can return to be with us in 2027. Thank you for your continued support, understanding, and loyalty to this event.

It has been brought to our attention that there are some SCAMMERS out there trying to sell tickets via third party websites! Note that our tickets haven’t gone on sale yet so there’s nothing for these folks to sell. They’re just trying to get money. When tickets do go on sale, they won’t be even close to the $58 price they have listed. These screenshots are from VividSeats and Events Ticket Center. Please report any scams you see out there to us and only buy from our official event partner Showpass via our website or socials.

WE'RE GOING BONANZAS!!!! 🍌🍌 Buckle up, Battle Creek! The incredible Kevin Coleman (@thekevincoleman ) is pulling double duty this summer! We told you that you were going to have another chance to see him in something along with his Red Bull Extra 330SHP. He is bringing his stunning Beechcraft F33C Bonanza to the Field of Flight this July. You're probably going "wait, what? A Bonanza". Yep, you read it right....BONANZA. As in, the general aviation aircraft you have seen multiple times in your life. This isn't your average Sunday cruiser—the F33C is a rare beast built specifically for aerobatics. Combine that kind of power with Kevin’s world-class flying, and you get a sky-high demo that you absolutely cannot miss. You may have seen many Bonanzas before....but you've never seen one do anything like this! Who's ready to look up? 👀✈️ 📍 EVENT DETAILS: 🎫Battle Creek Field of Flight Air Show & Balloon Festival 📅 July 1st–5th, 2026 🛫Battle Creek Executive Airport 🏢 Battle Creek, Michigan 🌐 #BCBALLOONS #FieldOfFlight #BattleCreekBalloons #BattleCreekFieldOfFlight #BattleCreek #FoF26 #HotAirBalloons #AirShow #BalloonFestival #OnlyInBattleCreek #EntertainmentFestival #Balloons #Planes #KevinColeman #Bonanza #GoingBonanzas #IsThatABonanza #BonanzasCantDoThat #WorldClass #F33C #BeechcraftBonanza
