Chilliwack – The Chilliwack Airshow – Flight Fest will not be grounded after all. The 2020 and 2021 shows were halted due to COVID, gathering concerns as well as sponsorships.
The FVN story from 2021 is here.
The show will fly at Chilliwack Airport on the same weekend as Chilliwack Pride.
Parking is always a challenge and there will be a shuttle to get around road closures:
(Overflow parking opens at 12:00pm Sunday!)
Shuttle Bus service and overflow parking will be available Sunday courtesy of the Chilliwack Alliance Church and Park Avenue Limousines. Parking will be at 8700 Young Road (Next to Valley Toyota) with the shuttle bus running from 12pm to 4:30pm free of charge from there.

Back in February , in a Facebook page from Chilliwack Flying Club :
This is our official call for volunteers! Our first meeting for the 2022 Flight Fest will be Tuesday, March 1st at 7:00pm at the Chilliwack Flying Club (46200 Airport Road).
If you’re interested in being a part of the 2022 Flight Fest Committee, organizers need vendors, security, grounds, VIP tent, or sponsorship, or just have some awesome new ideas how we can produce a great show for Chilliwack.
Ray Firkus with Firkus Aircraft told FVN: we are looking for fresh ideas, concepts and quite frankly, a little fresh and now blood. This is for a long term strategy, not just year to year. The first volunteer meeting two weeks ago was very promising. This is NOT an AGM. It is a gathering of ideas.
