Winchester, VA – The Top of Virginia Regional Chamber and Winchester Regional Airport are excited to welcome the community to Wings & Wheels, presented by United Bank, on Saturday, October 3, 2026, from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM at Winchester Regional Airport.

Following a successful 2025 event that welcomed more than 3,000 attendees, Wings & Wheels returns for another day of aviation, automobiles, local businesses, and community fun. This free, family-friendly event will feature aircraft displays, a Car Show, the popular Touch-a-Truck area, local vendors, food trucks, entertainment, and activities for all ages.

“Wings & Wheels is such a unique opportunity to bring our community together while showcasing the Winchester Regional Airport, local businesses, and organizations that make our region special,” said Cynthia Schneider, CEO of the Top of Virginia Regional Chamber. “There is truly something for everyone, and we’re excited to welcome families and visitors back for another great year.”

As the Presenting Sponsor of Wings & Wheels, United Bank is helping make this growing community event possible. With more than 3,000 people attending last year, the event provides an opportunity for families, businesses, and organizations from across the region to connect in a unique setting.

“This is United Bank's first year as Presenting Sponsor, and honestly, it was a pretty easy decision for us. When we looked at what Wings & Wheels represents, it checked all the boxes. It's family-focused, it's community-focused, and it brings together people from all over the region for something that's just plain fun. That's exactly the type of event we want to support.”, said Peter Warren of United Bank.

Wings & Wheels offers attendees of all ages the opportunity to experience aviation and automobiles up close while connecting with businesses and organizations from across the region. Families can stroll the airport grounds, explore aircraft and vehicles, meet exhibitors, and experience one of the area’s most unique community events.
