Who We Are

SUN 'n FUN has been promoting aviation since our first fly-in in 1975. What began with a small group of dedicated aviation enthusiasts has grown in the second largest event of its kind in the world. Every April, tens of thousands of aviation enthusiasts travel from around the globe to to enjoy one of the world’s greatest aviation conventions. Held at the SUN 'n FUN Complex at Lakeland Linder Regional Airport in Lakeland, FL, this six-day event celebrates aviation with more than 4000 airplanes, over 500 commercial exhibitors showcasing the latest products in the industry, and in excess of  450 educational forums, seminars, and hands-on workshops for virtually every aviation interest.  Each afternoon, a daily airshow entertains guests with andrenaline-pumping aerobatic performances by some of the world’s best aerobatic pilots, jet team demonstrations, and WWII bombing reenactments featuring meticulously restored warbird aircraft and amazing pyrotechnics. A Friday “night air show” entertains crowds into the evening and is followed by a spectacular fireworks display. There is something at SUN 'n FUN for every aviation interest and age group.
