The Festival of Flight has always been known as a good time to come home for Ganderites who live away! Our annual celebration has grown beyond a local entertainment event to a full-scale Festival with something for everyone to see and do. It attracts people from all over the province and indeed tourists from far and wide.

Check this page for more details and a growing schedule of events as planning gets underway for the 2009 Festival of Flight!
