Warbird Expo at CAF Missouri Wing

Get ready to celebrate America in spectacular fashion! The Cedar Creek Veterans Foundation is proud to present the sixth annual Warbird Expo, taking place on July 4, 2026, at the CAF Missouri Wing in Portage Des Sioux, MO. This incredible event brings together aviation history, patriotic spirit, and the raw power of some of the most legendary aircraft ever to take to the skies — making it the ultimate Independence Day experience for power sports enthusiasts and aviation fans alike.

The Warbird Expo is your rare chance to get up close and personal with historic warbirds that helped shape the course of history. Unlike watching from the grandstands, this expo-style event puts you right in the action, giving attendees the unique opportunity to walk the flight line, examine these magnificent machines from just a few feet away, and engage in real conversations with the passionate pilots who fly and maintain them. Whether you’re a lifelong aviation enthusiast or simply someone who appreciates incredible machinery and engineering, the access this event provides is truly unmatched.

Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the CAF Missouri Wing‘s facility along the Mississippi River in Portage Des Sioux, the Warbird Expo combines the thrill of power and performance with a deep sense of patriotic pride. Celebrating America on the Fourth of July surrounded by these iconic aircraft is an experience that resonates on every level — honoring the veterans and service members who sacrificed so much while marveling at the powerful machines that carried them. The Cedar Creek Veterans Foundation has worked tirelessly to make this annual tradition one of the most meaningful and exciting events in the region.

Now in its sixth year, the Warbird Expo has established itself as a must-attend event for anyone who loves power, history, and the spirit of American ingenuity. Whether you’re bringing the whole family for a memorable holiday outing or making the trip specifically to connect with fellow aviation and power sports enthusiasts, this is one event you simply cannot afford to miss. Mark your calendars for July 4, 2026, head out to Portage Des Sioux, and get ready to celebrate America the right way — surrounded by the thunderous legacy of the warbird era.
