Hill Air Force Base, Utah -- With the Hill AFB Warriors Over the Wasatch Air and Space Show just three weeks away, those planning on attending should start making travel plans now.
With more than a half million people expected to attend the two-day air show, drivers can anticipate heavy inbound and outbound traffic delays the two days of the show – June 25 and 26. The best way to avoid these delays is to ride the UTA FrontRunner to the Clearfield Station, where there will be free shuttle buses taking attendees to the front entrance of the show. There will also be limited parking available at the Clearfield Station for those wishing to take advantage of the shuttle buses.
Other parking lots for the air show include the Weber State Davis Campus, off University Parkway Boulevard, and Northridge High School, off Hill Field Road. Shuttle buses will be available to take attendees to the show and will run continually from these lots.
The final option for parking is on base. Attendees can enter through the Roy and West Gates and will be directed to parking lots just inside those gates. No attendees will be admitted through the South Gate. For directions to these gates, please refer to the transportation map.
Parking along Highway SR-193 is strictly prohibited as it affects traffic flow and creates a safety issue. Layton Police Department may be ticketing those who park along the highway.
Base housing residents will be directed to use the West Gate between the hours of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The South Gate will not be available to residents, or other military and dependent ID cardholders during these hours. Base residents are encouraged to limit movement during the air show weekend. In addition, the Base Exchange will be closed both Saturday and Sunday.
Gates open at 8 a.m. both days of the air show and admission is free. For more information about the show, including the lineup of scheduled performers and a list of permitted and prohibited items, visit www.hill.af.mil.
