The displays ran on both days from about 2:45 pm to 6:40 pm, with the <strong>Frecce Tricolori<\/strong> as the highlight. New in 2026: the aerobatic team <strong>Fursan Al Emarat<\/strong> from the United Arab Emirates returned after 2012, joined by the inclusive <strong>WeFly! Team<\/strong>, the aerobatic team <strong>Yakitalia<\/strong>, historic biplanes and numerous helicopters. Admission was free, the show centre was the beach at Piazza Brescia, and the show was visible along the whole coast between Piazza Marina and Piazza Manzoni. During the display times a swimming ban applied on the affected beach section. This page is a record of the 2026 edition and a guide for future ones \u2014 check the official site for the next dates. All details with source and date below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The 2026 dates at a glance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<table class=\"tv-decision-matrix\"><caption>Jesolo Air Show 2026 \u2014 dates and times<\/caption><thead><tr><th scope=\"col\">When<\/th><th scope=\"col\">What<\/th><th scope=\"col\">Time<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Friday, 11 September 2026<\/strong><\/td><td>Dress rehearsal \u2014 often already a large part of the programme to see<\/td><td>approx. 2:45\u20136:40 pm<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Saturday, 12 September 2026<\/strong><\/td><td>Official show with the full programme<\/td><td>approx. 2:45\u20136:40 pm<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>TV broadcast (Saturday only)<\/td><td>Live on Rai 1<\/td><td>approx. 4:00\u20136:30 pm<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Swimming ban (both days)<\/td><td>on the affected beach section, for safety reasons<\/td><td>2:30\u20136:30 pm<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you had only one day, Saturday was the one to pick: the complete programme was announced and the show ran live on Italian television in parallel. The Friday dress rehearsal, however, draws a much smaller audience and is often just as worth seeing \u2014 an insider tip for anyone who wants to avoid the crowds of the main show day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The 2026 programme: who flew<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Jesolo Air Show is one of the biggest air shows in Italy. In 2026 the programme combined an unusually international mix of aerobatic teams, military aircraft, historic biplanes and rescue helicopters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frecce Tricolori \u2014 the highlight<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>Frecce Tricolori<\/strong> (officially Pattuglia Acrobatica Nazionale, PAN) are the aerobatic team of the Italian Air Force and, with ten aircraft, the largest aerobatic team in the world. Traditionally they form the finale of the Jesolo Air Show \u2014 with the characteristic closing manoeuvre in which green, white and red smoke draws the Italian tricolour across the sky. More on the background and history of the team and on its second Adriatic date in 2026 in Lignano in our article <a href=\"\/en\/frecce-tricolori-adriatic-2026\/\">Frecce Tricolori on the Adriatic 2026<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fursan Al Emarat \u2014 return from the Emirates<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the news items of 2026: <strong>Fursan Al Emarat<\/strong>, the aerobatic team of the United Arab Emirates, returned after its last Jesolo appearance in 2012. The team showed its new <strong>Hongdu L-15<\/strong> jets in black-and-gold livery \u2014 a rare chance to see these aircraft live in Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">WeFly! Team \u2014 aerobatics as a symbol of inclusion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the most remarkable formations in the programme was the <strong>WeFly! Team<\/strong>: the world&#8217;s only aerobatic formation in which two of the three pilots have physical disabilities. Founded in 2007, the team is an ambassador of the Italian federation of disabled pilots &#8220;Baroni Rotti&#8221; and flies three home-built <strong>Van&#8217;s RV-7<\/strong> aircraft with adapted controls that allow flying without using the legs \u2014 building the aircraft cost the pilots around 3,500 working hours. The team appears at the most important air shows in the world and stands for resilience and inclusion in aviation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other aerobatic and military teams<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Yakitalia<\/strong> \u2014 aerobatic team with Yak-50 and Yak-52 aircraft, the sturdy Soviet-built trainers that are now classics of the European aerobatic scene<\/li>\n<li><strong>Andrea Pesenato<\/strong> \u2014 Italian solo aerobatic pilot with his CAP 231, known for tight, low-level figures<\/li>\n<li>Historic biplanes of the <strong>Fondazione Jonathan Collection<\/strong>: a replica of the <strong>SPAD XIII<\/strong> and the <strong>Caproni Ca.3<\/strong> \u2014 both types date from the First World War and show how much has changed in a good hundred years of aviation<\/li>\n<li>Aircraft of the Italian Air Force and the <strong>HH.139B<\/strong> rescue helicopter of the 15th Wing (Search &amp; Rescue)<\/li>\n<li>A <strong>H145M<\/strong> helicopter of the Hungarian armed forces as a further foreign guest<\/li>\n<li>Helicopters of the Italian fire service (Vigili del Fuoco), the coast guard (Guardia Costiera), the financial police (Guardia di Finanza) as well as Carabinieri and Polizia di Stato<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As experience shows, the organisers add to the programme until shortly before the event \u2014 for the current status, look at the official site <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jesoloairshow.eu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">jesoloairshow.eu<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where to watch: show centre and best spots<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The official <strong>show centre<\/strong> is on the beach at <strong>Piazza Brescia<\/strong> \u2014 expect the biggest crowds here. The manoeuvres, however, are <strong>visible free of charge along the whole coastline<\/strong>, from Piazza Marina in the west to Piazza Manzoni in the east. If you prefer it quieter, find a free beach section away from Piazza Brescia \u2014 the view of the formations is comparably good from the whole seafront, you just do not hear the announcements and the stage presenters there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Practical tips for your visit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Respect the swimming ban:<\/strong> on the affected beach section a swimming ban applied on both days from 2:30 to 6:30 pm \u2014 for safety during the flight displays.<\/li>\n<li><strong>No drones:<\/strong> a drone ban applies over the whole coast during the event.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Be early:<\/strong> the show traditionally draws tens of thousands of visitors. If you want a good spot, be there several hours beforehand \u2014 with sun protection, water and a blanket.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ear protection for children:<\/strong> the low passes are loud. Ear defenders are recommended for small children.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Getting there:<\/strong> expect full access roads and car parks on both days. Information on getting to the Adriatic beach resorts is at <a href=\"\/en\/getting-to-the-adriatic-resorts\/\">Getting to the Adriatic beach resorts<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Accommodation:<\/strong> the weekend is in high demand in Jesolo \u2014 if you want to stay overnight, book early.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Weather caveat:<\/strong> in strong wind or poor visibility the programme can be shortened or postponed.

Access to the beach and the view of the flight displays are free along the whole coastline between Piazza Marina and Piazza Manzoni.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where is the best place to watch?<\/h3>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The show centre at Piazza Brescia offers commentary and the densest atmosphere, but is also the fullest. The flying formations themselves can be seen comparably well from any free beach section along the coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I see something on the Friday already?<\/h3>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. The dress rehearsal takes place on the Friday before the main show \u2014 with a much smaller audience, often with a large part of the programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is the show broadcast on television?<\/h3>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The main show on Saturday was broadcast live on Rai 1, roughly between 4:00 and 6:30 pm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">May I swim during the show?<\/h3>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No. A swimming ban applies on the affected beach section on both days from 2:30 to 6:30 pm for safety reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What happens in bad weather?<\/h3>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In strong wind or poor visibility the programme can be shortened, postponed or partly cancelled.
