The Festival of Flight took place in in August 2009 and was caused by the need to fix the windows in the Cave. Part of this party takes place on the Tallest Mountain, but only members could access it. When interviewing Gary in The Club Penguin Times, he pointed out that the solution to fix the windows in the Cave is to lift Club Penguin out of the water. The Festival of Flight 2009 was held between August 14–20, 2009. Gary waddled around during the party.
This party all started when Gary the Gadget Guy had pointed out that the Cave windows were worn out and were leaking. He had said that having a Water Party would be too dangerous, so Gary started making plans for Club Penguin to be lifted in the air. Later on, in the newspaper, Gary posted his solution to fixing the windows - lifting Club Penguin into the air via giant balloon - then when they had been replaced, he would gently lower Club Penguin down into the water. The party started on August 14, 2009.
