The Sun ‘n Fun Aerospace Expo flies into Lakeland this week.
Running from April 5 through 10, 2022, it’s the second chance for fans of all sorts of flight. Too bad that unlike MacDill Airfest, this one isn’t free. The Sun ‘n Fun will still feature some of the amazing sights and sounds of flight.
Florida resident tickets for Saturday AND Sunday are $45 for adults, $20 for 7-17. For Sunday only, tickets for Florida residents are $30 and $10 for 7-17. Click here for full ticket information.
