Saturday, May 30, 2026
Afterburner is a new event designed to be an unforgettable evening of aviation, adrenaline, and refined indulgence. Held at Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum, Afterburner will feature fighter aircraft and their pilots, cockpit access, exceptional cuisine, curated libations, exquisite cigars, and a private showcase of exotic cars.
Afterburner will draw a highly engaged, experience-driven audience from Willamette Valley and the greater Portland area. Guests will mirror the Museum’s supporters who are typically professionals, entrepreneurs, or established leaders with discretionary income and a strong interest in aviation, collector and performance vehicles, fine wine, and premium lifestyle experiences.
Many attendees will be enthusiasts—pilots, car collectors, and connoisseurs—who value craftsmanship, innovation, and exclusivity. This audience is socially connected, community-minded, and highly responsive to brands that align with quality and experience. Elevated casual or cocktail attire is appropriate.
