Bray Air Display
The Bray Air Display, also sometimes known as the Bray Air Show, is an air show which takes place in the seaside town of Bray, County Wicklow in Ireland. It typically takes place on a weekend in mid or late July or early August. The event has been held annually since its inception in 2005, except when it was cancelled in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It is held on the Bray Seafront, with planes flying over the Irish Sea, flanked by Bray Head to the south. The show is part of the town's Summerfest, with amusements and food and drink stands on the Seafront.
The show lasts about two and a half hours, and has included shows on both the Saturday and Sunday of the airshow weekend. The 2025 event, however, was scheduled for the Saturday, only.
The event is free of charge and was attended by over 140,000 people in 2018, according to organisers. Tickets can, however, be bought for a private area, known as the "Flight Deck", which includes a private barbecue and a bar, with free parking. Tickets were €120 per person in 2022.
Past participants have included a US military Boeing C-17 Globemaster III, the Royal Air Force Red Arrows, Patrouille Suisse, the Royal Jordanian Falcons, and the Black Knights parachute team. Flag carrier airline Aer Lingus usually also performs a flypast at the event.
The 2023 show took place on Saturday 29 and Sunday 30 July 2023. The 2025 event took place Saturday 2 August in front of 40,000 spectators.
