Organize a Bus Trip for Sailabration Air Show
 

Maryland Port Administration location offers prime viewing spot

Baltimore (May 14) - Tour and community groups traveling by motorcoach or school bus can watch the Star-Spangled Air Show – featuring the U.S. Navy Blue Angels – at South Locust Point Marine Terminal, Saturday and Sunday, June 16 and 17, at no charge. All vehicles must have a minimum of 25 passengers aboard.

The air show takes place over the Middle Branch of Baltimore's Harbor adjacent to Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine. The air show is part of Star-Spangled Sailabration June 13-19, marking the national launch of Maryland's three-year War of 1812 bicentennial commemoration. Fort McHenry is expected to fill up rapidly with visitors on Saturday and Sunday for the air show and the South Locust Point Marine Terminal provides a great alternative viewing location for groups.

Tour leaders wishing to bring their groups (community, church, scouting or other such organizations) to the Locust Point terminal must reserve space in advance by calling 410-767-6974, or by registering online. Confirmations will be sent for all reservations.

Approximate viewing hours for both days of the show are 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Though seating is not provided, passengers in the groups may bring their own chairs. Food vendors and portable restroom facilities will be available. All passengers should have a government-issued identification card to present upon entry to the terminal.

South Locust Point Marine Terminal is located at 2001 E. McComas St. in South Baltimore, a short distance from Fort McHenry and just off I-95 (Exit 55, Key Highway).
