Period attire is encouraged.

The main event begins Saturday morning at 9 a.m. Vintage Aircraft Weekend features what is billed as a first-class Speakers Bureau, live music, two flying sessions of vintage aircraft, vintage automobiles and military vehicles, fine food, vintage bicycles, vintage clothing and uniforms, and a host of opportunities for kids and parents to interact with displays and vendors. The final flight will conclude at 5 p.m.
