The world-famous Flying Fools are returning to the Penticton Peach Festival and bringing their high-flying antics with them.
The high dive team is returning to Peachfest for the first time since 2010.
The 69th annual Peach Festival is scheduled for Aug. 3-7.
“They are unbelievable,” said Bill Kolter, Peach Festival Entertainment Director. “What a show.”
The Flying Fools are based out of Quebec and have performed all over the world, with recent stops including Yokohama, Japan; Riyadh, Saudi Arabia; Singapore and the Los Angeles County Fair.
“We all agree that the high dive show was absolutely spectacular and without question the best act we have seen at the exhibition,” said John Barnes, spokesperson for the annual Bermuda exhibition.
In Canada, they have performed from coast to coast including the Canadian National Exhibition, in Toronto and the Pacific National Exhibition in Vancouver. Prior to visiting Peach Festival in August, the Flying Fools will be headlining at the Calgary Stampede.
The Flying Fools are set to perform twice daily in Okanagan Lake Park during the first four days of Peachfest.
The leader of the group, Yves Milord, is a consultant with Cirque du Soleil and for more than a decade he has been in charge of the Canadian team at the Acapulco Cliff Diving Championships.
“You won’t see better family entertainment anywhere, and thanks to our sponsors, it is free for everyone to enjoy,” Kolter said.
