JACKSONVILLE BEACH, Fla. – The Blue Angels will soar over the skies of Jacksonville Beach in 2025 after all when they return for the free Sea & Sky Air Show on Saturday, Oct. 25, and Sunday, Oct. 26.
Initially, Jacksonville Beach was not on the schedule for the Blue Angels in 2025, but a show scheduled for Lake Charles, Louisiana, has now been canceled and the squadron will perform in Northeast Florida instead.

“The Sea & Sky Air Show will bring families, neighbors, and visitors together to experience an unforgettable display of skill and teamwork,” said Jacksonville Mayor Donna Deegan. “We are grateful to the Blue Angels for their service, for their role as ambassadors of goodwill, and for bringing the thrill and magic of naval flight back to our proud military community.”
The U.S. Navy Blue Angels are a hometown favorite and their free annual shows are always packed.
The United States Navy Flight Exhibition Team’s first demonstration took place on June 15, 1946, at Naval Air Station Jacksonville, which was also the squadron’s first home base.
The free, family-friendly air show next October will feature the Blue Angels, known for their precision flying and dynamic aerial maneuvers, along with award-winning civilian and military aerobatic performances over the Atlantic Ocean.
The details haven’t been finalized but the city made the announcement Tuesday that the air show would be returning after all.
“I want to thank the City of Jacksonville for working so hard with us to bring the Sea & Sky Show – along with the Blue Angels – back to Jacksonville Beach,” said Jacksonville Beach Mayor Chris Hoffman. “This is a big day for all of us. We can’t wait to show off our community, celebrate the military, and enjoy the show next year.”
The Blue Angels recently performed at NAS Jax on Oct. 19-20 this year.
The city will share more details as the event approaches, including the complete list of activities, parking options, shuttle services, and road closures.
