Tyabb Airshow 2026: A Must-Do March Day Out on the Mornington Peninsula
If you’re looking for something a little different to do on the Mornington Peninsula this weekend, the Tyabb Airshow is shaping up to be one of those days out that feels genuinely exciting. It’s happening on Sunday, 1 March 2026, with gates opening at 8:30am and flying displays starting from 10am.
And honestly, this is not just one for aviation enthusiasts.
This is the kind of local event that can turn an ordinary Sunday into a full Peninsula adventure. Whether you love a bit of history, want to entertain the grandkids, or just feel like getting out and doing something fun, the Tyabb Airshow has that big “special event” energy that makes it worth adding to the weekend plans. The event promises a mix of historic and modern aircraft, with opportunities to get up close to some seriously impressive machines.
One of the best parts is that it is not all happening in the sky. On the ground, there will be static aircraft displays, including vintage and modern planes and helicopters, along with displays featuring the Australian Defence Force, the HMAS Cerberus Band, and the CFA, including a water fire bomber demonstration. There will also be food vendors, merchandise and live music on site all day, which makes it feel more like a full community event than just an air display.
Then, of course, there is the main event — the flying action.
The expected line-up includes a huge range of aircraft, from aerobatic performers through to warbirds and military favourites. Some of the names that will catch attention include the P-51 Mustang, Spitfire, Corsair, Sea Fury, PC-21, PC-9, Grumman Avenger, and the RAAF Roulettes. That is a pretty impressive list for a local day out, and it is exactly the sort of thing that makes the Tyabb Airshow one of the standout Mornington Peninsula events for March 2026.
What makes this event especially appealing is that it offers something for just about everyone. If you are into old aircraft and aviation history, there is plenty to admire. If you are bringing kids, there is the noise, movement, displays and atmosphere to keep them entertained. And if you simply want an excuse to head out for a fun local outing, this is the kind of experience that feels a little more memorable than the usual weekend routine. The organisers describe it as “fun for the whole family,” with visitors able to get close to the aircraft and enjoy the sounds, smells and excitement of the day.
So if you have been searching for things to do on the Mornington Peninsula this weekend, this one is well worth a look. It is local, lively, and a bit different — and that is often exactly what makes for the best kind of day out.
Before heading off, just keep in mind that aircraft availability and the flying schedule can change due to weather, maintenance and operational requirements, so it is a good idea to check the official event information before you go.
For a March weekend adventure with plenty of excitement, noise, nostalgia and family-friendly fun, the Tyabb Airshow 2026 looks like a fantastic reason to get out and explore another side of the Mornington Peninsula.
