Death-defying aerial thrill show keeps eyes in the
skies. The action will remain in the skies before and
after the balloons have taken flight. The Nerveless
Nocks, an incredible troupe of world champion thrill
performers from Switzerland’s oldest circus family, will
perform death-defying stunts. The Nocks, who date back
to 1840, have earned universal acclaim for their daring
Sky High Sway Pole Show, in which they climb and perform
atop 80 foot tall skyscraping sway poles completely free
of guy wires and safety nets.

The whole family will enjoy these sensational
thrill performers, who climb hand-over-hand to
the top to perform a variety of acrobatic aerial
acts. The Nocks also perform an unbelievable and
risky mid air exchange from pole to pole and an
incredible headfirst free-fall back to the
ground. They’ll also perform stunts
and a balancing act atop a 20 foot tower of
stacked chairs.
The Nerveless Nocks have nine generations of
entertainment experience. They have been
featured in feature films, television shows and
commercials, as well as produced, directed and
designed many popular theme park stunt shows and
special event action shows worldwide.
“We’re proud to add the Nerveless Nocks as a new
attraction to our big 30th celebration,” said
Festival Executive Producer Howard Freeman.
“We’re always looking to add to the enjoyment of
our Festival-goers and add value to their
Festival experience. This is something the
entire family will enjoy.” The Red Bull Air
Force sky diving team will also be returning to
the skies over Hunterdon County, performing
tandem jumps high above the crowds at Solberg
Airport.
The three-day festival, the largest summertime
hot air balloon and music festival in North
America, features twice a day mass ascensions of
more than 100 sport and special shaped hot air
balloons from around the world taking flight at
6:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. The Nerveless Nocks and
the Red Bull Air Force sky diving team, who will
each perform multiple times each day throughout
the weekend, are among the many featured
entertainers and attractions at the Festival,
which offers 39 hours of morning-through-night
family entertainment. |
