The Skybound Flight Festival is a free community event designed to connect students, families, and aviation enthusiasts with the exciting worlds of aviation, STEM, technology, and career opportunities. Building on the success of last year’s festival, which welcomed more than 1,000 attendees, this year’s event will feature aircraft displays, hands-on STEM activities, local businesses and community organizations, live entertainment, and opportunities for attendees to discover careers right here in the Triad. 

Explore aircraft up close, meet pilots and aviation professionals, experience flight simulators, enjoy drone demonstrations. After 15 years of inspiring the next generation through aviation and STEM education, Jim Shaw ACE Academy is excited to bring the community together to celebrate opportunity, innovation, and the future of aviation in Winston-Salem.
