The Milwaukee Air & Water Show has announced two exclusive media events scheduled for the days leading up to this year's show. The main event will take place on Saturday, July 25, and Sunday, July 26, 2026, along Milwaukee's lakefront.
The first event, "Media Day," is set for Wednesday, July 23, 2026, at 2 PM at the 128th Air Refueling Wing. This occasion is designed for credentialed media to meet and interview airshow performers and discuss their aircraft and roles.

Following Media Day, a press conference will be held on Thursday, July 24, 2026, at 12:30 PM at 2272 North Lincoln Memorial Drive. Show owner and director Brian Allendorfer Jr. and crew members will provide an inside look at the coordination of the event. Media present will have the opportunity to observe rehearsal flights.
Attendance at both events is by RSVP only to info@firststationmedia.com. Media outlets must submit full names, dates of birth, and roles for each attending crew member. The RSVP deadline for Media Day is July 17, 2026, and for the press conference, it is July 20, 2026.
