San Javier prepares to launch Air Show this May

ARCHIVED ARTICLE -

The Festival Aéreo de San Javier will return from May 3 to 5, 2024, above the beaches of Santiago de la Ribera

At the recent International Tourism Fair (FITUR) in Madrid, the Mayor of San Javier, José Miguel Luengo, announced that the Town Council is preparing an Air Show for the first weekend of May.

After being away for around six years, the Festival Aéreo San Javier, or San Javier Air Show, has been confirmed to return this year for the dates of May 3 to 5, 2024.

The Town Hall has billed it as “one of the biggest air shows on the planet”, and it will include demonstrations from “some of the best acrobatic patrols on the continent”.

There will also be a chance to visit the San Javier aeronautical museum to learn more about the history of aviation in the municipality, and the opportunity to eat the traditional ‘Caldero del Mar Menor’ stew.

The planes will be zooming in the sky above the beaches of Santiago de la Ribera, with San Javier airfield as the base of operations and flights, but of course viewing locations can be found all around the Mar Menor.

The idea is that this will be an annual event, and on the first weekend of May every year this event will be held to celebrate the rich aeronautical tradition and history of San Javier.

It is still over three months away, and more details regarding the show times, what will be on offer and the accompanying exhibition will be released nearer the time.
