Boulder Municipal Airport will host its sixth annual Airport Day and open house from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, June 18, at the Boulder Municipal Airport, 3327 Airport Road. The public is invited to climb into dozens of different types of aircraft and enjoy the region’s rich aviation history. Admission and parking are free for this event.

“With lineage dating back to 1928, Boulder Municipal Airport has played an amazing part in aviation history,” said Boulder Municipal Airport Manager Tim Head. “On Airport Day, we bring out the planes, old and new, to celebrate. It is a great combination of fun and education that everyone in the family can enjoy.”

In addition to showcasing airport amenities, the event will feature numerous types of aircraft, including military helicopters, sport airplanes, experimental airplanes, WWII aircraft and antique airplanes. There will also be kids’ activities, shops, food vendors, and rides for purchase in a helicopter and an open-cockpit bi-plane.

At approximately 6:30 a.m., there will also be up to six hot air balloons conducting a joint lift-off. Spectators may park on the east side of the terminal building, at 3335 Airport Road, to watch the launches from up close.
