Looks like the website has been updated with a link to purchase tickets. Advance tickets are $25 (plus service fee) until May 1, $35 at the gate.
An interesting quote on the ticket website: "YOU HAVE BEEN TO AN AIR SHOW, NOW ITS TIME TO EXPERIENCE AIR FEST 2020"
I honestly have no idea what is in store for this event. There's no list of performers. With the Snowbirds/CF-18 already confirmed for the Waterloo show, they got nothing in terms of any attractions.
I guess we'll wait and see what becomes of this event.
Here is the link for where to buy tickets (for a show without any performers as of yet lol)

Shows that do this should fire the marketing department(if they even have one).Pretty sure this will be a pass for me

Be interesting to see what this show will be like, I’m curious to what a “airfest” will be when they have no snowbirds, f-18 etc lined up.
I’m guessing more war birds?

It's my understanding from hearing some individuals that this is a static show primarily with some aerial flybys or something. I recommend heading to Waterloo that weekend, looks like St Thomas has essentially finally folded.

Rescheduled to June 25-27, 2021. All ticket purchases will be honored at the 2021 event or folks can contact the office directly.
2021 will feature the same keynote and all the performers have agreed to 2021 as well.

Perhaps the postponement is a blessing in disguise. Maybe now they can add the Snowbirds and CF-18 demo. With all due respect, who were the performers already confirmed? There was nothing mentioned on the website about anyone performing.
The AirFest and Waterloo shows were going in a different direction for sure, then most shows. I suggest they keep it simple for their next shows. Nothing wrong with the keynote, and I think the prices were reasonable ($35 I think...although, no jet teams). I totally thought the Waterloo show idea of "adult style show" for $100+ was stupid, as it seemed they shunned the regular family shows, which is where you'll get your support from.

All the never announced performers? have reconfirmed.This show wasn't going to happen anyway I think terrible job by the "organizers" selling tickets to a show with nothing even announced?
