Continuing a yearslong streak, EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2026 set an attendance record with about 734,000 people attending the international aviation gathering that ran July 20-26, according to the Experimental Aircraft Association.
“While it’s gratifying to see a record attendance total again this year, which is a credit to our dedicated volunteers, staff, and partners, our goal each year is not to chase numbers but to showcase EAA’s community and share our mission of growing participation in aviation by sharing the spirit of aviation,” EAA CEO and chairman Jack Pelton said in a press release. “We know that people leave Oshkosh each year inspired and excited by the world of flight that EAA represents.”
