Eighteen years ago New Carlisle’s Annual Parade of Planes organizers joined with The Heritage of Flight Festival Committee to present New Carlisle’s First Annual Heritage of Flight Festival and Parade. Expanded from a 1 day summer event, this 3 day fall festival has become one of our area’s most popular attractions. The Heritage of Flight Festival boasts an impressive array of events and activities on Main Street in beautiful New Carlisle, Ohio.
