The Boundary Bay Airshow features airplanes, stunt planes and family-friendly fun in July at Boundary Bay Airport in Delta. Admission is free.
The Boundary Bay Airshow in 2025
In 2025 the event takes place on Saturday, July 19th (which is a week later than the previous year).
Unlike the Abbotsford International Airshow, the airshow in Delta is free to attend. It’s also just a one-day event. Chilliwack Flight Fest is also free. The Abbotsford event happens on August 8th to 10th in 2025. The Chilliwack one is usually the on the Saturday and Sunday of the following weekend.
The schedule of events hasn’t been announced yet, as of early 2025. What we do know, however, is that the Canadian Snowbirds are expected to attend!
Dates & Location Details
Last year the Boundary Bay Airshow began at 12:00 pm. The gates opened at 11:00 am. 2025 will likely be the same.
The event takes place at Boundary Bay Airport, located at 7800 Alpha Way in Delta. The venue is close to Kings Links by the Sea golf course and the Tsawwassen Mills Shopping Mall.
On-site parking at the airport is normally limited and costs around $25. Free parking, however, is available at Paterson Park (5800 Clarence Taylor Crescent) and East Ladner Parking Lot (4626 88th Street). Both lots are quite a walk away from the airport, but free shuttles are usually available every 15 minutes starting at 9:45 am on the day of the event.
