Flightoberfest is an outdoor event featuring all-day aircraft displays, beer and wine, food trucks, kids zone, and local vendors.

The event will showcase craft brews from central Florida breweries including Trouble Waters (Safety Harbor), Brighter Days (Tarpon Springs), Southern Lights (Clearwater), and Sponge City (Tarpon Springs).
