Look to the skies for Gibraltar’s festival of the seas

GIBRALTARโ€™S Festival of the Seas will reach a spectacular climax on Sunday with an aerobatic display led by a former Red Arrows leader.

The Blades Aerobatic Display Team, including former Red Arrows pilots and a world championship aerobatic instructor, will bring the week-long festival to a close with their eye-catching performance.

โ€œThe event is aimed at celebrating all our nautical history,โ€ explains Ros Astengo, Ocean Village Business Development Manager. โ€œColumbus came past here, while Nelsonโ€™s ship was in Gibraltar on various occasions.โ€

Vintage car enthusiasts will also be kept entertained with a Classic Car Rally at Ocean Village on Saturday.

The fleet of motors โ€“ over 100 in total – from the Gibraltar Classic Vehicle Association, will take part in a mini rally around the Rock.

They will then head for a slap up dinner at popular Brazilian-style restaurant Ipanema in the marina.

โ€œIt is a really fun day and they have a great time here in the evening,โ€ says restaurant owner Danny Breeze.

All festival profits and donations will be made to the G.B.C. Open Day and the Rainbow Ward at St Bernardโ€™s Hospital.
