It appears Sun N Fun is now postponed:

"Sun n Fun Fly-in is delaying until May 5-10 because of coronavirus concerns. The organization’s executive director sought city commissioners’ support for that decision and received it. Final decision on whether to proceed is targeted at April 17. "

Not posted on Facebook yet, nor their website.
(While I'm reasonably confident about the source of the info I quoted, you might want to wait a few hours until there is official confirmation before changing plans...)

I suspect they asked the city, but still need to run it by some of the key performers, exhibiters, etc. We probably won't see something until Monday or Tuesday (article said April 17 but I think they got the month wrong).
 
It's official now -- SnF has updated their FB page confirming the slip to 5-10 May.
 
I assume those of us who bought tickets and can't attend in May won't be getting refunds. Their Facebook page says to send an email to inquire about a refund. Sent.

...and it will be renamed....
now it's called
"Look-For-Shade and Fun"


anyway, i just pulled up their web site... not showing a change there.....
 
Didn’t pre buy tickets to the show, however a group of my northern pilots friends did reserve a house for the week of sun n fun, which includes a couple of Florida pilots ,have to wait and see what happens .
 
So at the moment I'm still planning on being at a business conference at Disney World that week. Friday the 9th is a free day before we fly out the 10th. Would SnF be a good day trip from Orlando?

Web site is now updated. New dates are "proposed" - stay tuned.

"SUN ‘n FUN and the Aerospace Center for Excellence are deeply concerned about the developing crisis with COVID-19 and understand our responsibility to help in the fight against the spread of the disease. Our first priority is always the health, safety, and well-being of our patrons, partners, staff and volunteers. With the full support of Polk County, the City of Lakeland, Lakeland Linder International Airport, and the FAA, at this time we are planning to postpone the 2020 SUN ‘n FUN Aerospace Expo until May 5-10. We appreciate the unwavering support of our airport, our community and our airshow family, and we hope everyone will make plans to join us here this May. More updates are pending, please continue to check back here for the latest information, or follow us on social media."

This is so stupid. Oh well count me out. No way I’m going to Florida in May to be outside all day!
 
You email info@flysnf.org. They send you a form to fill out and then email it to another address to get a refund. I did it today. Lee
