Salute to America in Space will take place Saturday and Sunday, November 7–8, 2026, at the historic Shuttle Landing Facility, now the Space Florida Launch and Landing Facility, inside Kennedy Space Center. The event site, aircraft and spaceflight displays, exhibits, hospitality areas and viewing area for the aerial program will all be located on the runway of the Shuttle Landing Facility.
Salute to America in Space provides a unique opportunity for public guests to drive directly into Kennedy Space Center and park directly on the historic Shuttle Landing Facility runway, now Space Florida’s Launch and Landing Facility. Ticket holders will access Kennedy Space Center via Titusville Road and the North Gate. A valid event ticket and parking pass are required for entry. Do not navigate to the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex. Review the arrival instructions on your parking pass before departing and follow event signage and staff directions.
Gates open at 9 am on Saturday and Sunday. The Flight Line Club and Corporate Chalets will open at 10 am on Saturday and Sunday.
The aerial portion of the show runs from noon to approximately 4:00 pm.
All the major acts, which you can see on our Performer Page, will perform both days. The specific line-ups of each day’s show are posted about 1-2 weeks prior to the show.
The aerial program will be centered directly in front of the Salute to America in Space event site at the historic Shuttle Landing Facility. The center point will be almost six miles from the western shoreline of the Indian River and over seven miles from the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex. Because of these distances, viewing from Titusville, the Visitor Complex and other locations will be limited and from a considerable distance. The Salute to America in Space event site is the only location that provides a close-up view of the complete aerial program.
We will have a variety of aircraft on static display inside the event site.
