Every February, birds of a feather descend on a remote desert airstrip outside Maricopa, Arizona, for a few days of flying contraptions, fire, food, music, guns, and beautiful chaos. If you sell something our flock needs — caffeine dealers, aviation products, handmade goods, oddities, art, apparel, gear slingers, or purveyors of strange desert necessities — we want to hear from you. (602) 692-7995. This is not a polished expo hall. This is MoTown. Bring your setup, your grit,

The 2027 Arizona Flying Circus returns to MoTown Airport February 11–14, 2027. Bring your flying contraption, your camp chair, your appetite, and whatever you can contribute to the chaos — firewood, food, talent, tools, art, volunteer hands, or some other brilliant desert madness. The AFC is built by the flock. Mark your calendars. Tell your people. Start scheming. More details are inbound. Stay tuned, birds of a feather. arizonaflyingcircus.com
