Trick planes to light up the skies - by day

Sunday 14 July 2019

A dynamic troupe of planes are set to light up the skies in a dramatic finish to the Battle of Flowers Moonlight Parade - and, for the first time, the day parade too.

Organisers have confirmed that Aerosparx pyrotechnics will once again be taking to the skies on Thursday 8 and Friday 9 August.

It will be the third time the aerial display glider team bring their wingtip pyrotechnics to accompany the traditional fireworks finale, t hanks to a sponsorship agreement with Ports of Jersey.

But this year holds something new: for the first time ever, the team will appear as part of the Day Parade Finale, with a smoke trail display.

Event Director, Jackie Donald, commented: “Without doubt Aerosparx has proved a real favourite among the crowds and we are delighted that the duo has agreed to take part in both parades."

“As always, we are grateful for the continuing support of Ports of Jersey who facilitate the team’s visit to the Island to take part in the parades," she added.
