South Ayrshire Council have announced that they expect to bring the International Ayr Show- Festival of Flight to Ayr on Saturday, September 9, 2023 with a full weekend of fun lined up.

Saturday will see the main event with aircraft taking to the skies to wow crowds, but the fun won’t stop there as the council have promised “even more surprises” are lined up for Sunday, September 10.
Councillor Alec Clark, the council’s portfolio holder for Tourism, Culture and Rural Affairs, said: “It’s fantastic to have the date in the diary for what’s set to be a fabulous event that locals and tourists can look forward to next year.
“The International Ayr Show - Festival of Flight will no doubt leave a lasting impression on everyone who comes along, and I’m sure they’ll want to return again, year after year.”
Councillor Brian Connolly, South Ayrshire Council’s Portfolio Holder for Sport and Leisure, said the date announcement will “allow locals, visitors and businesses to start planning ahead” for the three-day event.
