Bristol International Balloon Fiesta

The Bristol International Balloon Fiesta is an annual event in Bristol, England, featuring hundreds of hot air balloons taking to the sky. Typically held over several days in August, it attracts thousands of visitors who watch the colorful balloons ascend at dawn and enjoy evening "balloon glows," where balloons illuminate in patterns against the night sky. The event also includes entertainment, food stalls, and activities, creating a vibrant festival atmosphere. It celebrates aeronautics and arts, drawing enthusiasts and families alike, and is recognized as one of Europe’s largest and most popular hot air balloon festivals.
