Record numbers look likely as AirVenture officials add up the numbers

Another EAA AirVenture has come to a close, and while no official numbers have been released yet, EAA officials are saying 2024 broke the attendance record which was 677,000 people, set in 2023.

Also what looks to be a record is the amount of money those in attendance spent, as many of the almost 850 vendors set up at AirVenture reported better than usual sales.

Much of this success can be attributed to the weather for this years event with no severe weather reported, no major heatwaves, and very little rain overall.

Things now turn to the planning of next years AirVenture which will run from July 21st through the 27th.

Billed as “The World’s Greatest Aviation Celebration”, The event has taken place since 1953, being in Oshkosh since 1970.
