Somerset, KY – March 18, 2026 – The Lake Cumberland Air Show is returning to the skies over Somerset, Kentucky, bringing world-class aerial performances, aviation displays, and family-friendly entertainment to the Lake Cumberland region this November.
Presented by Don Franklin Family of Dealerships, the Lake Cumberland Air Show will take place Saturday, November 7, 2026, at Lake Cumberland Regional Airport. The event falls on Veterans Day weekend — a fitting tribute to the men and women who have served in America’s armed forces — and will feature high-energy aerobatic demonstrations by professional pilots, static aircraft displays, food vendors, aviation exhibits, and interactive activities for all ages. In honor of that service, all veterans will be admitted free of charge with valid military ID.
“Our airport is more than just a nice, state-of-the-art facility; it’s an engine that has fueled economic growth in Pulaski County. We are thrilled to open our gates for the 2026 Airshow to showcase this community treasure while celebrating our Veterans,” said Shawn Daugherty, President and CEO of Citizens National Bank. “Events like this bring people together and highlight Somerset and the Lake Cumberland region as a great place to visit.”
The Lake Cumberland Air Show is expected to draw aviation enthusiasts, families, and visitors from across Kentucky and neighboring states for a full day of entertainment and patriotic celebration.
In addition to aerial performances, attendees can enjoy food vendors, aviation exhibits, static aircraft displays, and interactive activities throughout the day.
