FlightFest Dublin 2013
FlightFest, a once-in- a-lifetime, international fly past, will take place in the centre of Dublin City on Sunday, 15th September 2013
This will be a truly historic event involving more than 30 aircraft flying at low level following the path of the Liffey right through the centre of Dublin.
FlightFest is expected to be one of the largest National events of ‘The Gathering Ireland 2013’ and is expected that thousands of people from Dublin, all over Ireland and abroad, will line the banks of the River Liffey from Dublin Port up to the Customs House, in the centre of Ireland’s capital city, to experience this unique FlightFest.
FlightFest will be wonderful FREE family fun day out for all to enjoy. A large section of the Quays from the 02 (Dublin Port) as far as the Customs House will be pedestrianised and many family attractions and festivities will be available, contributing to a carnival aviation atmosphere that will showcase Irish aviation.
The flypast element of FlightFest will commence in the mid afternoon (time 2pm) but the family festival will be running well beforehand (time 12 noon), including static displays from the Defence Forces, so please go early and soak up the atmosphere!
