Gig Harbor Wings & Wheels
Wings & Wheels will be back for a fourth year in 2014 on the Gig Harbor side of the Narrows Bridge, at the Tacoma Narrows Airport.
It's an aviation event with a car show - featuring bi-plane rides, amazing cars and aircraft, live music and the Smoke 'N' Thunder Jet Dragster making a 300 mph run down the runway, plus three hours of aerial demonstrations and displays, featuring warbirds and aerobatic airplanes.
Aircraft will FLY-IN and be on static display. You'll thrill to the roar of the engines as some fly over and you'll have the opportunity to see beautiful aircraft up close. Vendors, military displays, and entertainment will be going on throughout the day.
Admission:
- Adults 18 and older: $15
- Seniors and Military ID card holders: $10
- Kids 6 to 17: $5
- Kids 5 and Under: FREE
Due to the limited access to the Narrows Airport, airport parking will only be available for those who have purchased their tickets online in advance of the event. Day-of-event ticket purchasers should go to designated parking lots off-site and ride the bus in. Satellite parking will be available at St. Anthony's Medical Building parking lot (4700 Point Fosdick Drive NW, Gig Harbor, WA 98335, click for map), across the street from Uptown, with shuttle busses running to the event every 15 minutes. VIP parking at the airport will be available for advance ticket purchasers for an extra charge.
