May 3-5 San Javier launches first ever Air Show
The San Javier Air Festival promises to showcase the finest of European aviation with more than 50 unique planes
The first ever San Javier Air Festival is set to take place from May 3 to 5 on the beaches of Santiago de la Ribera and promises to be an unforgettable experience for aviation enthusiasts and families alike.
Organised by the San Javier City Council, the festival will feature more than 50 aircraft from various parts of Spain and Europe, including rare and historic planes that are not commonly seen up close.
According to Pablo Gonzalez, leader of the ACAE team responsible for organising the festival, the event offers a unique opportunity for spectators to marvel at these exceptional aircraft. The festival has already secured participation from prestigious teams such as the Swiss national acrobatic patrol, Patrouille Suisse and the Eagle Acrobatic Patrol, along with several other military and civilian aerobatic formations from England, France, Italy and Switzerland.
In addition to the breathtaking aerial displays, the festival will offer a range of activities for all ages, including a play zone with interactive experiences like drone demonstrations, virtual reality simulations and pilot meet-and-greets. Live music performances by local bands and artists, including Apache, Conectados and Coti, will further enhance the festive atmosphere.
The festival's goal is to establish itself as a premier European event in its inaugural year, drawing over 150,000 visitors from across the continent.
Councillor for Strategic Projects Hector Verdú described the festival as a springboard for San Javier's tourist season, with a packed schedule of events running from Friday afternoon to Sunday evening, especially between the hours of 10.30am and 3pm, when the main exhibitions will take place.
Mayor José Miguel Luengo expressed gratitude to the supporting companies and underscored the collaborative effort behind the festival, involving all council departments of San Javier.
He also highlighted the long-term vision for the event, promising that it will become a recurring attraction every May, showcasing the best of San Javier to the world.
