On Tuesday, Hill Air Force Base officials announced in a press release that the 2026 Warriors Over the Wasatch Air Show, set for June 27-28, has been postponed.
“This change is a direct result of the need to prioritize resources for critical, ongoing operations,” the release said. “The primary focus for base leadership remains on supporting our dedicated Airmen and their families while ensuring all mission objectives are met. Postponing the show is the most responsible course of action at this time.”
The air show has been tentatively rescheduled for June 19-20, 2027.
“This was not the outcome any of us hoped for. We know this news is a great disappointment to the community partners, performers, and thousands of supporters who make this event a success,” Col. Dan Cornelius, 75th Air Base Wing commander, said in the release. “We are committed to delivering an exceptional experience, and it became evident that with current constraints, we could not guarantee the quality and scale that defines the Warriors Over the Wasatch show and that our community deserves.”
Kevin Ireland, Utah Air Show Foundation executive director, said the decision is understandable.
“While disappointing to have to postpone the Warriors Over the Wasatch Air Show, The Utah Air Show Foundation is 100 percent here to support Hill AFB and their mission which will always come first,” he said in the release. “We will continue to work on presenting the best air show possible as a partner to Hill AFB and look forward to our next opportunity in 2027.”
