Nightglows, Firework Displays and Mass Balloon Launches are just some of the spectacular events that you can expect during the four days of free, family-friendly fun that make up the Bristol International Balloon Fiesta. Founded more than thirty years ago, today the fiesta is the largest of its kind in Europe, featuring more than 100 hot air balloons, and attracting half a million visitors annually. Nothing quite compares to the daily ‘breakfast and balloons’ spectacle - bound to leave you speechless - while the parachute displays, music stage, fairground rides and more, will help to keep kids - both young and old - happily entertained for the entire day.
