Salute to Veterans Celebration and Air Show  scheduled for Memorial Day weekend

COLUMBIA, MO (May 26, 2016) - As the community welcomes residents and visitors for the annual Salute to Veterans Celebration and Air Show May 28-29, City of Columbia officials offer the following advice.

The event will be held at the Columbia Regional Airport (COU), 11300 S. Airport Dr. Due to wet conditions, the field north of the airport normally used for public parking will be closed.  Parking at the airport will be extremely limited.  Terminal parking at the airport will be closed to any persons attending the event and Airport Drive will be monitored to restrict traffic.

Event-goers are encouraged to park in the Fifth and Walnut Parking Garage and utilize shuttles provided by the Salute to Veterans Corporation; parking in this garage is free for the weekend. The shuttle pick-up and drop-off will be located on the north side of the Fifth and Walnut Parking Garage. No parking will be allowed at the parking meters on the north side of the Fifth and Walnut garage so that buses can load and unload.

Shuttles will run continuously both ways until the end of the airshow. There will be 11 shuttles running from the parking garage to the air show and six shuttles running from the Jefferson City Airport to COU.

Shuttles will begin transporting from the Fifth and Walnut garage and Jefferson City Airport at 8:30 a.m. both days. Shuttles provide a round trip convenience for $5 per person. Gates open at 9 a.m.; all passengers utilizing the shuttles will be dropped off and picked up at the event gate.

Guests are reminded that there is no general seating provided and they may bring collapsible strollers and folding chairs. No coolers, bicycles, tricycles, scooters, alcohol or weapons will be allowed into the event. For a full list of allowed items and general event information, please visit www.salute.org.
