Great State of Maine Air Show

The damage caused by the air show far outweighs the benefits, in my opinion. Everyone in a 5-mile radius has to deal with the deafening noise. From scaring babies to disrupting local wildlife to forcing dogs and other pets and livestock into hiding, this event is problematic all around. The planes rehearse all week leading up to the show, so for residents and animals of Brunswick and Harpswell, this is a 7-day non-stop ordeal. Please do not come back to our town.

Suggest to leave early and bring own food and alot of water. We always have a great time! The shows are great! The only downside is you will standing and cant see the show on ground. Seats but no bleachers. Our favorite was Lucus oil Pitts! He is amazing!

The airshow was amazing. 1 for the people that got lost and stuck and traffic the GPS address of where to go was on the airshows website 1 for vip another or general parking. The reason for the one star was because of the sponsor. The car dealership. There were more cars there than air planes. This was an airshow not a car show.

This event was an absolute disaster. We came from the lakes region (1.5 hours away) for the air show with our three kids, all under the age of 6. I was at the last air show in 2018 and it was awesome!! I was so excited to share that with my kids. They were so excited to see the show and all the planes. Unfortunately that didn’t happen. We arrived in Brunswick off 295 around 10am and there were no signs anywhere on where to go for the show so we followed our GPS to the airport. Turns out that way was closed but there were no signs posted anywhere that it was closed. We then spent the next 3 hours in a rolling parking lot waiting to double back and get into the show. There was zero organization and it appears as if they were not prepared at all for the number of cars arriving. Which is strange because all the tickets were pre-sold this year so they knew exactly how many people to expect. We had to give up finally and just leave. I was devastated and my kids were extremely sad they couldn’t see the show. I will look elsewhere for another show, but I don’t see us returning to Brunswick in the future. The air shows response to numerous upset patrons? “Oh well” and “should have been here even sooner” and “better luck next time”. Just sad and a poorly run event.
