Flite Fest East 2017

Join more than 900 pre-registered pilots at Flite Fest East 2017 for our fifth-annual, flagship RC aircraft event July 13-16! 

Flite Fest began back in 2014 as the brain-child of Austin Furey, who had the desire to have a festival dedicated to those passionate about the RC hobby and their families.

Each year numbers increased as Flite Fest became more familiar with the RC community—last year’s event brought more than 4,200 attendees. And this year we held our first-ever Flite Fest West event in Vallejo, California, which brought out 2,700 attendees.

Flite Fest East 2017 has some exciting new updates and events!
