'''Thessaloniki AirSea Show''' (previously known as '''Kavala AirSea Show''') is a free annual [[airshow]] scheduled to be held in 2022 above the harbour of [[Thessaloniki]], [[Greece]]. Up to 2019 the show was held above the harbour of [[Kavala]], [[Greece]]. The show takes place over the course of three days, usually during the last 10 days of June (Friday to Sunday), and features various types of aircraft, helicopters and parachutists from all over [[Europe]] and the Middle-East, including the [[Saudi Falcons]] from [[Saudi Arabia]] and the [[F-16 Demo Team]] of the [[Hellenic Air Force]]. In addition to aircraft, the coastline hosts a range of food counters, stalls and aero-modelling exhibitions, with maritime clubs of Kavala playing an increasing role with the participation of sailing boats inside the harbour.

The Air Show was first held in 2011 (without the presence of the maritime clubs) as a single day show, but due to its success it became a three-day show in 2012. In 2013 it became an "AirSea Show" with the participation of the maritime clubs. The 2015 AirSea Show was cancelled due to late preparations and financial instabilities, but it returned on 24-26 June 2016.
