Blue Angels - Belle Chasse Air Show this month

FYI to folks going
Be prepared to sit in traffic for 3 hours getting in and 2 hours getting out. Unless you wanna head to the base at daylight.
Military airshows are a cluster frick. One way in and one way out. It’s not built for efficiency.

They have still not updated their Facebook or posted in the performers, but I happened to glance at the schedule just now and saw this posted.


The 2024 New Orleans Air Show will begin at 10 am and will end at approximately 4 pm. Gates will open at 8 am.

Bumping this thread since show is this weekend and we will be bringing our boys.

I was hoping that I could bring a cooler with drinks and lunch, leave it in car, and make our way in and out of the show as the day goes on instead of being forced to stay out on tarmac for 6 hours. Website is saying no coolers allowed but I am wondering if this counts for keeping it in the car as well.

Bonus: I was also wanting to bring a small tent and more or less tailgate out the back of our SUV while we are not inside the show area. Is this a possibility or no?
