Going to the Hyundai Air & Sea Show in South Beach? Here is what you need to know


MIAMI BEACH, Fla. – Miami Beach is hosting an action-packed celebration of American patriotism on Saturday and Sunday ahead of Memorial Day, a time to honor those who died while serving in the U.S. military.

The Hyundai Air & Sea Show marks the barrier-island city’s eighth annual National Salute to America’s Heroes with representatives of the U.S. military’s six branches, first responders, and allies.

The maroon beret-wearing Red Devils from the British Army’s Parachute Regiment were ready. Mickey Markoff, the show’s executive producer, told Local 10 News the schedule of events honors heroes.

“They are writing the blank check of sacrificing their life for our entire nation to protect our freedom,” Markoff said. “The whole idea is to say thanks.”

The choreographed beachside tribute is from noon to 6 p.m., and there are events into the night after the show — including a concert, a 3-D mapping video projection on historic buildings, and a fireworks display.

Markoff also said the primary viewing area is along Ocean Drive — between 11 and 14 streets — at the heart of the Art Deco Historic District in South Beach.

Miami Beach police officers were enforcing temporary traffic and parking changes that limited drivers’ access to Ocean Drive, and Collins and Washington avenues.

It will be hot this weekend and there is a risk of Saturday afternoon storms. Organizers said there is an interactive area for kids, food vendors, and water access at Lummus Park, at 1130 Ocean Dr., which also has public restrooms.

Sun protection and comfortable clothes and footwear are a must. Admission to the public show and the after-show events is free. For more information from event organizers, visit this page.
