The U.S. Navy’s Blue Angels will headline the 2026 Air Dot Show in Cocoa Beach on Sunday, April 12, with performances beginning at 11:30 a.m. and a demonstration scheduled for 2:30 p.m. The event, hosted by the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps, will take place on the Cocoa Beach Pier and is free to attend. The Blue Angels, known for their precision flying, will perform aerobatic maneuvers against the backdrop of the Atlantic Ocean. The show is expected to draw thousands of spectators to the Space Coast’s northern beaches. The event will feature patriotic tributes and displays of aviation excellence, with no admission fee required for attendees. "We look forward to putting on a great show," said a representative from the U.S. Navy. The Air Dot Show has been a staple of Cocoa Beach’s spring calendar for decades, drawing crowds with its combination of military aviation and coastal scenery. This year’s event will include six jets performing in formation, with the Blue Angels’ precision flying expected to be the highlight. The show will run from 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., with additional exhibits and activities planned for the pier. The U.S. Marine Corps will also participate, offering information booths and interactive displays. The event follows a similar format to previous years, with organizers emphasizing safety and crowd management measures. Local residents and visitors are encouraged to arrive early to secure viewing spots along the pier. The Air Dot Show has become a community tradition, with families and aviation enthusiasts gathering annually to witness the Blue Angels’ performances. No tickets are required, and parking is available along nearby streets and lots. The show is part of a broader effort to promote aviation education and military heritage in Brevard County.
