Arbroath Seafront Spectacular

This annual event, now in its sixth year of running, is a must for all the family. Thousands turn out each year for a changing annual programme and some very exciting displays.

The 2009 Arbroath Seafront Spectacular was held at Victoria Park, on Saturday 25th July and was a successful day-long family fun day at Arbroath's glorious seafront. The show featured a wide range of  'spectacular' attractions including aerobatic flying displays, helicopter pleasure flights, car clubs, motor cycle clubs, stunt driving, armed forces demonstrations, refreshments including a beer tent, local bands, stalls, traders, exhibitors and a large funfair.

A unique part of the Spectacular is the seafront flying display. Although popular south of the border Arbroath is the only Scottish town to feature a flying display as part of a seaside show. The Victoria Park provides a natural arena for viewing airborne acts.

The RAF have provided flying displays in previous years with notable attendees being the world famous Red Arrows. Their Aerobatic Team amazed the crowds with their astonishing aerial ballet including the mighty Chinook Helicopter which performed its award winning gravity defying display and the formidable Tornado F3 from nearby RAF Leuchars in Fife which demonstrated its ability to power itself around the sky at both low and very high speeds.

2008 also saw the return of the well known Stunt Driver Russ Swift demonstrating extraordinary manoeuvres on two wheels using a Mini Cooper.
