Bristol, England — Events
Bristol International Balloon Fiesta
Every year the Ashton Court Estate and the skies of Bristol are transformed into a colorful riot of hot air balloons. Mass balloon launches of over a 100 balloons at a time take place in amongst a host of family orientated activities. Funfairs, music, stunt shows, camel racing, international food stalls and more form part of this free, four day fiesta. One of the highlights of the fiesta is the Special Shapes Rodeo, where anything from a giant bag-pipe playing highlander to a floating orange slice can be seen taking to the skies.
