Just as the Gary Air Show wrapped up its two-day run at Marquette Park, performers in the Chicago Air and Water Show will begin staging Saturday and Sunday at the Gary\/Chicago International Airport for the Chicago show along the city\u2019s lakefront.<\/p>\n
Dozens of aviators and aerial acts will be participating, officials said Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Residents are invited to view planes taking off and landing from the airport\u2019s parking lot from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. each weekend day.<\/p>\n
The viewing area will be open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. with a $20 parking fee per car. Food trucks will also be on site.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are proud to play a critical role in staging the aerial event for this weekend\u2019s Chicago Air and Water Show, which is one of the most exciting summer attractions in the county,\u201d\u00a0said GCIA Executive Director Dan Vicari.<\/p>\n
The 2025 Chicago Air and Water Show will feature the U.S. Army\u2019s parachute team, Golden Knights, as well as the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds. Both also appeared at the Gary Air Show last weekend.<\/p>\n
