14th Annual Planes. Trains & Automobiles
The skies, rails, and roads will come alive once again as the 14th Annual Planes, Trains & Automobiles returns to the Plant City Airport on Saturday, February 21, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Presented by Tampa International Airport and supported by Unity in the Community and SUN ’n FUN’s Aerospace Center for Excellence, this beloved event is gearing up for its biggest year yet.
A true regional favorite, Planes, Trains & Automobiles draws families from across the Tampa Bay area to enjoy a fun, educational, and budget-friendly day of adventure. All the fan favorites will be back — including awe-inspiring aircraft displays, classic car shows, intricate model train setups, radio-controlled flight demonstrations, and the massive LEGO transportation display — plus exciting CELEBRITY APPEARANCES and new activities designed to make 2026 an unforgettable experience for visitors of all ages.
“This event has always been about bringing people together to celebrate the wonders of transportation while inspiring the next generation,” said Jason Jones, Chairman and founder of Planes, Trains & Automobiles. “With new activities for families, expanded STEM exhibits, and more ways for kids to get hands-on with aviation, 2026 will be our most exciting year yet. And best of all, every ticket purchased helps us support aviation dreams right here in our community.”
In keeping with its mission to inspire and educate, proceeds from the event benefit the Tampa Bay Aviation Association’s Aviation Scholarship Program. Scholarships for aspiring pilots, mechanics, and aviation professionals will be awarded during the event, directly impacting the lives of local students.
Families can explore flight simulators, STEM exhibits, Young Eagles discovery flights, Scouts’ merit badge opportunities, bounce houses, and more — all while enjoying delicious fare from food trucks and local vendors.
