Organizers of this year’s Peachfest in Penticton have locked in another aerial display.
They say The Skyhawks, Canada’s military parachute team, will be performing August 9.
“What a great way to kick off the 70th anniversary of Peach Festival. Having this type of a show on opening night is going to be incredible,” said Peach Festival president Don Kendall. “It will make for a great opening night with headliner 5440 taking the main stage later that evening.”
