The Duluth Air and Aviation Expo will occur on Saturday, July 16, and Sunday, July 17, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., each day. Traffic on portions of Airbase Rd, Airport Rd, Airport Approach Rd, and Stebner Rd near the Duluth Airport will be restricted at times during the event.

Parking lots for the Expo are color-coded and are explained in detail at www.duluthairshow.com. Drivers should watch for signs directing them to parking lots.

General Event Parking (Green Lot) will be located on Airbase Rd and is accessible via Stebner Rd from Hwy 53, Swan Lake Rd from Haines Rd, or Airbase Rd from Arrowhead Rd.

Upgraded parking (Orange Lot), disabled parking (Blue Lot), motorcycle parking, vendors, and Air Show volunteers must use Cirrus Drive, from Hwy 53, for access to the Expo. Off-site parking with shuttle access is available at United Health Care (Teal Lot).

Only Federal Prison Camp traffic and Green Lot traffic should use Stebner Rd.

All other traffic, including vehicles going to Monaco Air, Federal Express, and Cirrus, must use Cirrus Dr, from Hwy 53, for access.
Airbase Rd from Stebner Rd to Swan Lake Rd, and Airport Approach Rd from Airbase Rd to Airport Rd will both be closed to through traffic from approximately 8 a.m. until 6 p.m. each day of the Expo.

If traffic gets heavy during the morning hours, Stebner Rd from Hwy 53 to Airbase Rd may be converted to only allow one-way traffic into the event. As traffic exits the event between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m., Stebner Rd from Hwy 53 to Airbase Rd may be converted to only allow one-way traffic out of the event.

Motorists in the area of the Air and Aviation Expo should drive with care, expect heavy traffic, and watch for signs, barricades, pedestrians, and Police Officers directing traffic.
