Snowbirds returning to Penticton

The Canadian Forces Snowbirds are returning to Penticton.

The Snowbirds aerobatic team will kick off the 68th annual Penticton Peach Festival Wednesday, Aug 5.

The CT-114 Tutor aircraft last flew over Penticton in 2013. They performed in Kelowna last summer.

The Snowbirds are expected to be in Penticton for three days. A public meet and greet is scheduled during their stay.

"We couldn't be happier. Last time they were here, every inch of Okanagan Lake Beach was filled with spectators. What a great addition to Peach Festival," says Peach Festival president, Don Kendall.

The Penticton show is one of six stops the Snowbirds will make in B.C. in 2015.

They will also perform in Fort St. John, Quesnel, Abbotsford, Victoria and Comox.
