Tulum Air Show 2026 will run from April 23 to April 26 near Tulum International Airport, Military Air Base No. 20, the Tulum Archaeological Zone and Parque Jaguar beach, with a program that combines aerial demonstrations, aviation fairs, conferences and paid NASCAR races. Announced by Tulum City Hall in coordination with the Mexico Aerospace Fair and the Mexican Army, the event requires prior registration for attendance, while the NASCAR segment carries an extra ticket cost.
For Tulum, this is more than a promotional event. It affects residents, visitors, workers near the airport corridor and anyone planning to move through the municipality during those dates. What changes now is practical: people who want to attend need to review the schedule in advance, register before arriving and, in the case of NASCAR, purchase separate access.
Registration is the first step
The event is being organized as a multi-day program rather than a single open-entry show. According to the published information, attendees must complete an online form with their personal data and select the events they want to attend, including the air show, conferences or car races.
The registration period is described as open from March 20 through the event dates. That means anyone interested in attending can still sign up, but the process should be completed before heading to any venue. In practical terms, that makes the Tulum Air Show 2026 a planned outing, not an event where people should assume entry will be resolved on site.
The registration form is available at:

Organizers also shared an information page for the event at:

For local readers, that matters because the event is spread across several venues and different kinds of access. Some visitors may want to attend only the aerial displays, while others may be focused on the conference sessions or the NASCAR program. Registration is the common entry point across the broader schedule.
NASCAR tickets require a separate purchase
The published information states that NASCAR is the only part of the event with an additional cost. The listed price is MXN 2,884 per person, and the ticket includes access to both race days, an entertainment hangar, the fan zone with special experiences and food, and seating in Grandstand A at Tulum Airport, where the races are scheduled to take place.
The purchase link provided for NASCAR is:

That creates a clear distinction within the event. The broader air show program includes fairs, talks, photo spaces, aerial spectacles and the launch of new Army aircraft, while the racing segment operates as a paid experience. For families and visitors planning their days, that difference is central. Registration alone does not replace the race ticket, and the race ticket is the added step that changes the cost of attending.
Most events center on the airport corridor
The majority of activities are scheduled near Tulum International Airport and Military Air Base No. 20. That makes the airport corridor the operational center of the four-day program and reinforces how closely recent public events in Tulum are being tied to transport and defense infrastructure.
The event is also being framed as a collaboration between public authorities, the aerospace sector and the military. That gives it a different character from a standard tourism event. It is presented not only as entertainment, but also as a showcase for aviation, safety and institutional programming.
For residents, the location matters almost as much as the dates. The airport area has become one of the municipality’s most visible development zones, and this event places it at the center of a public-facing calendar that includes technical sessions during the day and larger crowd attractions later in the program.
April 23 opens with safety sessions and flight demonstrations
The first day, April 23, begins at Military Air Base No. 20 with the Air Safety Congress from 10:00 a.m. to 12:50 p.m. That is followed by an aerial demonstration from 1:00 p.m. to 1:50 p.m.
From 2:00 p.m. to 3:50 p.m., the schedule moves into aviation fair activities, also at Military Air Base No. 20. The day closes with another aerial demonstration from 4:00 p.m. to 4:50 p.m.
As a guide for attendees, April 23 appears to be the most conference-oriented opening day, with the aviation fair and demonstrations built around that structure. People interested in the institutional and aerospace side of the program may find this to be one of the most complete days.
April 24 continues with the FAMEX 2027 launch
The second day, April 24, starts earlier, with the Air Safety Congress scheduled from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. at Military Air Base No. 20. From 10:00 a.m. to 10:50 a.m., the same venue is set to host the launch of FAMEX 2027.
The program then returns to public fair activities from 11:00 a.m. to 12:50 p.m., followed by an aerial demonstration from 1:00 p.m. to 1:50 p.m. Another fair block runs from 2:00 p.m. to 3:50 p.m., and the day ends with a second aerial demonstration from 4:00 p.m. to 4:50 p.m.
For readers using this article as a guide, April 24 may be the best option for those who want a fuller mix of conferences, institutional announcements, fair activities and flight displays in one day, all concentrated in the same area.
April 25 brings the first NASCAR race
On April 25, the schedule becomes more focused. The air show is set for 10:00 a.m. to 12:50 p.m. at Military Air Base No. 20. Later, from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., the first NASCAR race is scheduled at the airport, with paid access.
This split makes April 25 one of the clearest two-part days of the event. The morning is reserved for the aviation spectacle, while the evening is dedicated to motorsport. For people planning transport, meals or arrival times, that gap between the daytime show and the race may shape how long they stay in the area.
It also means April 25 is likely to draw two overlapping audiences: those attending because of the aircraft program and those coming specifically for NASCAR.
April 26 shifts part of the show to Tulum’s coast
The final day, April 26, is the most geographically distinct. From 10:00 a.m. to 12:50 p.m., the air show is scheduled in the Tulum Archaeological Zone and the beach area of Parque Jaguar. That change moves the event away from the airport corridor and into one of the municipality’s most recognizable public spaces.
Later in the day, the closing ceremony is scheduled from 5:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. at Military Air Base No. 20. Then, from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., the NASCAR Grand Prix is set to take place at Tulum Airport, again with paid access.
That final-day structure may attract the widest public attention because it places the aerial spectacle against a coastal and archaeological backdrop before returning to the airport area for the closing and the race. It is also the day most likely to require careful planning, since the venues are not concentrated in a single zone.
What attendees should keep in mind?
The clearest takeaway is that Tulum Air Show 2026 is being organized as a guide-based event. Dates, times, registration and venue choice all matter. People attending only one segment will need to know exactly where to go and when, while those planning a full-day visit should pay close attention to the shift between Military Air Base No. 20, the airport, the archaeological zone and Parque Jaguar.
For Tulum, the event shows how the municipality’s airport infrastructure is increasingly being used not only for transport, but also for major public programming. For residents and visitors, that changes how the last week of April may look on the ground. Access requires planning, NASCAR requires an extra purchase, and the published timetable is essential for anyone hoping to follow Tulum Air Show 2026 as a spectator guide.
