2025 Arizona Flying Circus

Each year in Feberuary people make the trip to a remote airport in the Sonoran Desert. Part fly-in, part Burning Man, part Wild West, the Arizona Flying Circus has evolved into a rather unusual event like no other.

Certainly, a large variety of pilots make it out every year with their flying contraptions, but you will also find wild costumes, explosions, enormous fires, great food, fireworks, flamethrowers, artwork, firearms (yes, there is a shooting range on site), live music, and the infamous bowling ball cannon.​

The AFC is a purely volunteer effort guided by our love and passion of flight and to celebrate our remaining freedoms, meet and reconnect with fellow birds of a feather, and gather at this breathtaking place. Come join us for warm winter flying in sunny Arizona!

Changes for the 2024 Arizona Flying Circus

• Day passes are not available for the Arizona Flying Circus. The AFC is a four-day event. We are not an air show, we are an annual, temporary, self-ruled, autonomous collective fly-in.
• Additional dinner tickets are no longer availble for sale at the event and must be purchased online here. We have to order with our caterer in advance.
• Paramotor/Balloon/Ultralights flying times are now segregated to help with air traffic congestion. Please see the .
• We have done our best to hold down cost increases, but like everyone else, we are dealing with inflation too!
