Bethpage Air Show Will Take Place Monday After Cancellations

WANTAGH, NY — Mother Nature took a 2-0 lead against the Bethpage Air Show at Jones Beach, forcing the cancellation of performances on both weekend days, the state's Department of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation said on its website.

But, all hope is not lost.

Spectators will get one more shot to see the Air Force Thunderbirds, and other military planes, rumble across the sky.

The show will go on Memorial Day, for the first time since the Bethpage Air Show began in 2004. It will run from noon to 3 p.m.

All Saturday and Sunday passes will be honored, the Department of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation said.

"I’m tremendously grateful for all the partners, performers and staff who are pulling together to make Monday’s show happen," Parks Commissioner Erik Kulleseid said in a statement. "We’re excited for the traditional summer season at Jones Beach, starting with the Bethpage Air Show."
