    On Saturday, the lakefront was packed with folks keeping their eyes on the skies for the show.

    The Air and Water Show runs from 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.

    Best advice is to show up early to find a good spot because the lakefront quickly fills up.

    Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events Dave Adams said water and public transportation are the key factors to enjoy the show.

    The public is encouraged to take public transportation, because parking can be a nightmare and traffic congestion quickly builds up.

    Ann Hickey, with the Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events explained how the air show coordinates with local airports.
