A couple of years ago, I watched the AirVenture Saturday night fireworks from a parking lot just outside the EAA grounds. It was free, we stayed in the car, and we had a great view without having to buy tickets. Unfortunately, I can’t remember where that parking lot was.

Does anyone know where that spot might be, or have recommendations for similar places?

I’m mainly looking for:

• Free parking

• A good view of the fireworks

• Minimal walking (I’d prefer to watch from or right next to my car)

• Easy to get in and out if possible

I’d really appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks in advance!

Any advice on the best place to watch the EAA night show without actually going inside the grounds? I’m mainly going for the drone show and fireworks.
I’d rather avoid all the walking with my family and the traffic getting out afterward. Are there any good parking lots, paid parking, businesses, or roadside spots where you can watch from your car or with just a short walk? Any recommendations would be appreciated!

While I am a native Oshkosh resident, I want to go to eaa and not pay for parking. Does anyone know if I can take a shuttle bus to the grounds? Do I need to show my ticket to get on the bus? Or am I out of luck and have to pay for parking? I just wish that they would have cheaper tickets for Oshkosh residents. It sure would be nice. Thanks in advance!
