Daredevil performers are returning to Penticton this summer to dive from heights up to 25 metres.

The Penticton Peach Festival announced the Flying Fools High Dive Show will be part of this year’s event.

The fearless acrobats combine skill and comedy, and they haven’t performed at Peachfest since 2014.

"We love performing in Penticton," Flying Fools spokesperson Milord said in a media release. "The crowds are fantastic and what a venue … right on the shore of Okanagan Lake."

The Flying Fools – like all the entertainment at Peachfest – will be completely free to enjoy. Their shows will take place between Aug. 10 and 13.
