We made our decision to not go tomorrow.
They're planning over 100 planes in attendance, 11am-4pm window, and taking Noon-1pm for an airshow.
I guess I'm just not a monster-crowds person, and at Catalina, 100 planes is far exceeding my comfort level with the event.
Here's the email I received yesterday, for your perusal.

The Catalina Island Conservancy is pleased to have you to join us for the Runway Re-Opening Fly-In Event, Celebrating 60 Years of General Aviation on Saturday, May 25th.
We anticipate great event attendance with over one hundred planes to land on the newly named and repaired ACE Clearwater Airfield between the event hours of 11:00am - 4:00pm. We are also excited to announce that Southern California's Premiere Formation Flying Team,
Tiger Squadron, will be flying over the Airport between noon and 1pm and have their planes on display.
Be sure to visit the Conservancy Membership booth to enter the Opportunity Drawing with great prizes including limited edition ACE Clearwater Airfield Hats, Scheyden Precision Eyewear, DC-3 Grill Lunch for 2, Wildlands Express Shuttle Packages and more!
And if you're looking to explore, the Conservancy's Education Department will be leading Airport Loop Trail Hikes at 12:30pm and 2:30pm. Be sure to sign-up at their booth to participate!
Plus the DC-3 Grill will be offering a special Throwback Menu with the original SKY BURGER, a Quarter Pound Hamburger on Pumpernickel Bread with white American cheese and mayonnaise. Served with coleslaw, baked beans, a Killer Cookie, and soft drink for $10!
