ABOUT MICKEY MARKOFF

“There is no better time than Memorial Day to pay tribute to those that paid the ultimate sacrifice on behalf of our freedom” - Mickey Markoff on the air and sea shows and Memorial Day

Paying tribute to our nation's heroes is the mission and vision that drives Mickey Markoff to produce the annual Hyundai Air and Sea Show. Markoff and his talented team have been passionately dedicated to organising the event throughout the years, from the skies of Chicago to the sunny beaches of South Florida.

Since then, he has brought private-public sponsorship to the Air and Sea Shows in South Florida, and is currently producing the 2023 Hyundai Air and Sea Show set to debut Memorial Day Weekend 2023.
