Town of Parrsboro, Nova Scotia

The 16th Annual Festival of Paragliding and Hang Gliding is set to take place in the skies around Parrsboro this long weekend in May.  Paraglider and hang glider pilots from Eastern Canada will once again descend on this beautiful little town on the Bay of Fundy to celebrate the beginning of the summer flying season and their passion for free flight.  The sport has grown over the past nine years and pilots from all three Maritime Provinces and Maine will be attending.  This year the festival is expanding due to the wonderful support of the town of Parrsboro and will continue to include paragliders, hang gliders, tandem paragliders, powered paragliders and ultra lights.  For more info:  The Atlantic Festival of Paragliding and Air Sports.
