FlightFest: the river Liffey, Dublin
Events building up the biggest fly past in Irish aviation get going at midday on Sunday. Over 35 aircraft, old and new, will fly past. The quays will be pedestrianised between the Customs House and Dublin Port so spectators can catch a comfortable glimpse of the low flying planes following the Liffey’s path right through the city centre. It is weather dependent so it’s best the check it will go ahead beforehand. The event, which is free, is part of the Gathering celebrations.
