Snowbirds’ Final Alberta Shows | Calgary News

Alberta, brace yourself—your last chance to see the legendary Snowbirds soar in their iconic CT-114 Tutor jets is here, with shows in Red Deer July 25-26 and Grande Prairie August 1-2. These will be the final Alberta performances before the fleet retires after the 2026 season, grounding the team until new jets arrive around 2030. For Grande Prairie’s event, hometown hero Captain Iain Muir—raised in the city, Air Cadet veteran, and newly minted Snowbird—flies as Snowbird Seven. The show’s organizers are calling it the region’s biggest airshow ever, featuring a military ground display by the Loyal Edmonton Regiment and South Alberta Light Horse, plus thrilling aerial acts including CF-18s, SkyHawks, and even a ride in a vintage B-25 Mitchell. Ground activities include static displays, STEM zones, food trucks, motocross, and train rides—all powered by the Rotary Clubs, with proceeds funding local community projects.
