What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Its free, open-seafront format, with the display flown entirely over the water off Bray's promenade rather than at a ticketed, fenced airfield, makes it one of the largest accessible public airshows in the greater Dublin area at no cost to spectators

02

The mystery stays covered

Flying the display entirely over the water off the promenade, rather than over land, keeps large aircraft safely distant from spectators while remaining clearly visible, a format suited specifically to Bray's long seafront geography
