I have been flying a weekly mission for a company. They have contracted with Construction company and have hired me to fly for mapping purposes. The mission was [in an area] which is controlled airspace near ZZZ. The company applied for a COA which I've been using and will last until the end of the year. Last Date I unlocked the app like usual and flew the mission. It's at 300 feet; and usually takes an hour. At the end of the mission I was approached by a Sheriff's officer. I was advised that a TFR was in place. I failed to look for any TFR's and should have known better since there was an active air show in progress. I have now learned to use tfr.faa.gov and will do so from now on.
Part 107 pilot reported they did not check for Temporary Flight Restrictions prior to flight and flew inside of an active TFR during an event.
