About Air Show Varazze

For a weekend, the sky above Varazze turns green, white, and red. The Italian Air Force Air Show brings the thrill of aerial acrobatics to the western Ligurian Riviera, with the grand finale entrusted to the National Aerobatic Team, the Frecce Tricolori. A three-day event with free admission that combines spectacle, education, and family activities, featuring the Airshow Village, flight simulators, and performances visible from the entire promenade, in one of the most beloved seaside resorts in the Savona province.

Varazze's Sky Becomes a Spectacle

The Frecce Tricolori Air Show in Varazze is one of the most anticipated events of spring on the Ligurian Riviera. For three days, the town in the Savona province hosts the Italian Air Force with a program culminating in the performance of the National Aerobatic Team, the famous Frecce Tricolori, capable of drawing the geometries and the tricolor smoke in the sky that have made Italian aviation famous worldwide.

More Than Just Acrobatics

The event is not just an air show; it's also about education and popular celebration. The program includes conferences dedicated to the role of the Air Force in service to the country, high-level sports exhibitions, and an Airshow Village with stands, a flight simulator, and 3D viewers, designed to engage enthusiasts, the curious, and children.

Where to Watch

The focal point is the Varazze promenade, with Piazzale De Gasperi serving as the village's headquarters. The aerial evolutions are visible along the entire coast, from the beaches to the walkways, making the entire town a large natural amphitheater overlooking the sea.

Varazze and the Riviera del Beigua

Varazze, in the province of Savona, is one of the most popular seaside destinations in Liguria, located at the foot of the Beigua massif. An event like the Air Show, with free admission, confirms the town's tourist appeal and attracts thousands of visitors from across the region and beyond.
