Battle Creek Field of Flight Air Show & Balloon Festival

Michigan’s Independence Day-week festival combines an air show, hot-air balloon launches, twilight/night flying, carnival rides, and nightly fireworks at Battle Creek Executive Airport. The U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds’ preliminary 2027 tour schedule lists a Battle Creek stop for these dates, but the festival’s official site had not yet posted 2027 dates or a performer lineup as of this writing — treat as tentative until Field of Flight confirms directly.
