The 77th Canadian International Air Show flies its last show of the year on Labour Day Monday, from noon to 3:40 p.m. over Lake Ontario off Exhibition Place. The show ran Saturday, Sunday and Monday; this is the final day.

The performers listed by the organisers for 2026:

There is no public running order. The organisers send the flying schedule to their mailing list rather than publishing it, so the sequence on the day is not announced in advance — which aircraft appears when is a matter of watching the sky.
Where it happens
The show is flown over the water off Exhibition Place, and the CNE grounds are the ticketed viewing area. The Ex is also on its final day and closes tonight, with no entry after 5 p.m.
On the water, and in the air above it
A Lake Ontario exclusion zone covering the Western Channel of Toronto Harbour and Humber Bay is in force through Monday, and Hanlan’s Point Beach is closed to watercraft during the show. Drones are not permitted in the restricted airspace. The full marine notice is here.
The organisers describe the event as North America’s longest running air show, now in its 77th year.
