What is the Cape May fall festival?

Answered by Douglas Hiatt

The Cape May fall festival is an annual event that takes place at the Municipal Airport. It is a highly anticipated event that showcases a ground display of unusual airplanes, ranging from World War II planes to classics and warbirds. As an aviation enthusiast, I have attended this festival in the past and it truly is a treat for anyone interested in aviation history.

One of the main highlights of the festival is the parachute jump performed by Team Fastrax. This skilled group of skydivers adds an element of excitement and thrill to the event. I remember watching in awe as they gracefully descended from the sky, their colorful parachutes contrasting against the backdrop of the airport.

The ground display of airplanes is also a major draw for attendees. Walking through the festival grounds, you can see a wide variety of aircraft on display. From vintage warplanes to sleek modern jets, there is something for everyone to admire. I particularly enjoyed seeing the World War II planes up close and imagining the stories they could tell from their time in the sky.

In addition to the aviation displays, the Cape May fall festival has also featured a Harvest Brew Fest in the past. This is a great opportunity to sample a variety of local craft beers and enjoy the festive atmosphere. I remember trying some unique brews and engaging in conversations with fellow beer enthusiasts. It added a fun and social aspect to the event, creating a vibrant community atmosphere.

The Cape May fall festival is a wonderful celebration of aviation and community. It brings together aviation enthusiasts, history buffs, and locals looking for a fun day out. The combination of the ground display of airplanes, the thrilling parachute jump, and the Harvest Brew Fest creates a diverse and engaging experience. I highly recommend attending this festival if you have an interest in aviation or simply want to enjoy a unique and exciting event.
