The great Milwaukee summer will be a lot quieter yet again this year as the Air & Water Show announced that it will cancel its 2021 edition.

The 2021 Air & Water Show was originally scheduled for July 24-25, but then this year's summer tradition was put "on a hold status" and, in the end, canceled – marking the second straight year the aerial celebration has been grounded. While last year's event was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a release, this year's edition was shut down "due to several major factors affecting the event."

"It is unfortunate families in our community will not be able to enjoy the Milwaukee Air & Water Show again this year," said Doug Gordon, President/CEO of WaterStone Bank, in a release. "But we look forward to getting together next year to watch the Blue Angels, and other performers, at the Lakefront."

"Given all the factors affecting our ability to put on a quality event, there was no other choice," Milwaukee Air & Water Show President Paul Rogers added in the release. "We will come back stronger, safer and ready for the 2022 Milwaukee Air & Water Show, which is scheduled with the US Navy Blue Angels Flight Demonstration Squadron, as well as many other world-class military and civilian air show performers."
