30,000 visitors flocked to the festival on 15 July 2006, and even more came in 2007. Despite the huge crowds, everybody still had a good view of all the displays as there was so much to see and do. The next Colchester Military Festival will be held on 18-19 July 2009 and is expected to attract as many as 40,000 visitors.
