Celebrating Two Decades of Family Friendly Fun
Twenty years ago New Carlisle's Annual Parade of Planes organizers joined with The Heritage of Flight Festival Committee to plan New Carlisle's First Annual Heritage of Flight Festival and Parade. Expanded from a 1 day summer event, this 3 day fall festival has become one of our area's most popular attractions. The Heritage of Flight Festival boasts an impressive array of events and activities on Main Street in beautiful New Carlisle, Ohio.
You won't want to miss this year's festival. The Festival Committee is planning the biggest event we've ever had along with some special surprises. We will be updating the Schedule and Entertainment pages as Festival time approaches so check back often.
Although the Heritage of Flight Festival relies heavily on the cooperation of City Government and staff we receive no city, state or federal funding. All expenses are covered by our local business community, corporate sponsors, fundraising events and individual donations. Planning and scheduling have begun for this year starting with fundraising campaigns to help us reach our goal to add exciting new attractions.
