No matter how far you may live from Oshkosh, you can expect to see at least some traffic heading there no matter where you look. Last year, the weeklong annual event welcomed a record 686,000 people to the Wittman Regional Airport and the adjacent EAA grounds. With 10,000 aircraft flying in and out of Oshkosh, EAA Airventure becomes the world’s busiest airport for a week. Area airports also see a spike in traffic because of the event, including Austin Straubel Airport in Green Bay. Airport Director Marty Piette says EAA AirVenture is not just a celebration of aviation, it is also a showcase for the area’s other airports.

Door County’s airports in Sturgeon Bay, Ephraim, and Washington Island also see some additional traffic due to EAA AirVenture, which runs July 21st-27th.
