The Minden–Tahoe airshow is returning to the Minden-Tahoe Airport in October - and this year organizers are inviting you to be part of the journey!
After years under the name Aviation Roundup, event organizers have announced plans to rebrand the airshow ahead of this year's October 16-18th event.
“This airshow belongs to the community,” said Airport Manager Heather MacDonnell. “We want the new name to reflect local pride, excitement, and the future of the event. Who better to help choose it than the people who attend, support, and celebrate it?”
People are invited to vote on a shortlist of proposed names.
Finalist names include:
* Minden–Tahoe SkyFest
* High Desert Skies Airshow
* Sierra Thunder Airshow
* Keep it the same “Aviation Roundup”
The winning name will become the official identity of the airshow moving forward and will be unveiled later this year.
This year's airshow weekend will feature:
* The airshow’s very first night show with illuminated aircraft and pyrotechnics
* Performances by the Patriots Jet Team, one of the nation’s premier jet demonstration teams
Community members can cast their vote online at surveymonkey.com/r/YHDYT8V through February 25, 2026, at 5 p.m.
