The two day Festival of the Air is undoubtedly the most spectacular event in Southend’s calendar. Southend was the first seaside resort in the country to stage an Airshow and it’s become one of Europe’s largest FREE events of its kind, regulary attracting over half a million people to the seafront over the weekend.
Whilst the skies over the Thames Estuary are filled with roaring and buzzing of fast jets as they zoom and flit at lightning speed, or formation aerobatic teams mesmerise the crowd with their manoeuvers, there’s a non-stop action packed entertainment programme that stretches for two miles on the ground. Southend’s Festival of the Air is a fun day out for all the family.
Ground Attractions from 10:00am to 6:00pm both days include:
· Military Town Shows from the RAF, Army, Navy & Royal Marines
· Unarmed combat displays in the arena area both days – by the Royal Marines
· Veterans area with interactive displays
· Rides, Giant Inflatables & Simulators
· Meet the Pilots Area
· Trade Stands
· Caterers
· Charities Marquee
Spectacular Firework Displays to be held on Sunday and Monday evening
Stealth Fireworks looks forward to a great weekend.
