Les Schwab Car Show

Since the 1970’s, the airshow has also hosted a car show – when friends and family members began flying and driving to the Ochs family farm. We welcome back returning entries, in addition to newcomers who are registering for the first time.

An exciting and free activity our guests enjoy as part of their Airshow experience.

Fly-In

We invite pilots and owners who have rare, interesting and unique aircraft to fly in and display their aircraft ​so our patrons get to appreciate the love and care put into these treasures of the sky. Their airplanes are judged and awarded trophies based on the classes described below.

Camp at the Airshow!

Thank You!

Vendor Oportunities

The Airshow of the Cascades is both an Airshow and Festival of planes, cars, music, food, beverages, and other entertainment all in one. Each year, an average of 20,000 visitors come to visit for the day or camp for the weekend. Most of our vendors return each year, however we are always looking for new and interesting types of food, non-food and community vendors. The Airshow Festival is the largest aviation festival in Oregon each year. The event is managed by a large group of volunteers and is a 501©3 non-profit.
