MacDill postpones AirFest
March 12, 2020 - MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa has postponed its annual AirFest event. This year's event was scheduled for March 28-March 29. "Unfortunately, to minimize the spread of COVID-19 and preserve the ability of our service members to meet any and all national defense taskings, we are postponing the 2020 Tampa AirFest until further notice," MacDill posted on Twitter. "This decision was not an easy one, however we are following Department of Defense and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention risk-based guidance." MacDill said there are no current plans to cancel other base events at this time, but it will assess the risk for each gathering.
