Airventure grounds open on Sunday July 24?

[rckol]

Due to scheduling problems I cannot attend Airventure during its official days this year (Monday-Sunday). Are the grounds open on Sunday the 24th, free or otherwise? I might stop in to just to see arrivals and other aircraft.

TIA

Yes, the grounds are open. You do have to buy a wristband, but it's good for Sunday and Monday. Standard day rates for admission, but there's no parking cost (at least, there hasn't been in the past several years).

Not only are the grounds open, but quite a few of the vendors, as for example, in the Fly-Market are already set up and operating. Many others are setting up on Sunday.

I echo what sponge said. The fly-market vendors are going to be pretty much the only ones open and not all of them at that. you won't have access to the main hangars, or pretty much most of the other buildings on the grounds. Some of the food vendors might be open, but I don't remember for sure.

Yeah John,

Lots of the food vendors were open already on Sunday last year.

Aeromart will be open on Sunday, for drop offs only tho'. Open for shopping begins on Tuesday
