The Gary air show is returning to Marquette Park in July of 2015, Gary Mayor Karen Freeman-Wilson announced at a press conference at the Marquette Pavilion yesterday. The city is partnering with business at the Gary/Chicago International Airport to produce the event.

Referring to the RDA-funded restoration of Marquette Park, the Mayor noted that “what was done at Marquette Park was done with the air show in mind, and this really does bring together two of the RDA's most significant investments,” the park and the airport. Added Gary Common Councilman Ronald Brewer, “we have had all these great renovations, and now it's time to show off our jewel.”
