The Minden–Tahoe Airshow returns in 2026... with a new identity in the works
The legendary Minden–Tahoe Airshow will make its grand return to Minden–Tahoe Airport (Nevada) from 16 to 18 October 2026. After years of success under the name Aviation Roundup, the organisers are embarking on a new era with a rebranding of the event and inviting the public to participate.
🗳️ The community invited to choose the new name
Wanting the event to fully reflect its local roots and dynamism, the air show team is opening a public vote to select its future name.
According to airport director Heather MacDonnell:
"This air show belongs to the community. It's only natural that they should have a say in its future. "
The finalist names proposed are:
Minden–Tahoe SkyFest
High Desert Skies Airshow
Sierra Thunder Airshow
Or keep the name Aviation Roundup
👉 Online voting is open until 25 February 2026 at 5 p.m.

The winning name will be announced later this year.
🔥 A historic 2026 edition
Despite this change of identity, the event's DNA remains intact: high-level aviation, a family atmosphere and the spectacular backdrop of northern Nevada.
The 2026 edition promises to be the most ambitious ever organised, featuring:
🌙 The first-ever night show in the history of the meeting (illuminated aircraft, pyrotechnics, night show)
✈️ The presence of the Patriots Jet Team, one of the best aerobatic teams
