Grado Airshow - Frecce Tricolori

Grado's sky is coloured in tricolour

There are shows that leave you looking up, and the Grado Airshow is undoubtedly one of them. Every year, at the beginning of summer, the sky above the Island of the Sun becomes the stage for the Frecce Tricolori, the famous National Aerobatic Team of the Air Force, which with its aircraft draws green, white, and red trails in the sky, symbols of Italy.

The event, organised as part of the event calendar of the Municipality of Grado and the Grado Turismo Consortium, attracts thousands of spectators to the beaches and along the coast, transforming a Sunday at the start of the season into a great popular festival with the sea as its backdrop.

Acrobatics over the sea

The performance takes place in the stretch of sea in front of Grado's main beach and is visible from the beaches and the Diga Nazario Sauro promenade. The absolute protagonists are the Frecce Tricolori, joined in some editions by other formations and precision aerobatic flying teams.

The evolutions of the National Aerobatic Team, with its synchronized passes and spectacular manoeuvres, offer excitement to young and old alike, in a crescendo of applause that accompanies every figure traced in the sky.

A celebration at the start of summer

The Grado Airshow is one of the events that open the island's summer season and is often part of a weekend full of events, including ceremonies, sporting events, and civic celebrations. Admission is free, and the invitation is simple: find a good spot on the beach or promenade, look up, and let yourself be enchanted by the Frecce Tricolori flying over the sea of Grado.
