Bristol’s International Balloon Fiesta.

Bristol’s annual four day International Balloon Fiesta event brings teams of Hot Air enthusiasts from all over the World to compete in this extravaganza of colours, sights and sounds. There could be as many as one hundred Hot Air Balloons in the sky at the same time, providing a magnificent spectacle for all those gazing upwards from below. To house all the caterers and all the food and drink requirements for the excited spectators and competitors the event brings in a specialist Marquee Hire Bristol company such as goodintents.co.uk/marquee-hire-near-me/marquee-hire-bristol/ who can erect their bespoke marquees quickly and efficiently.

The large variety of cuisines available and consumed in these elite structures are washed down by endless quantities of beer, larger, spirits and non-alcoholic beverages. The impressive, billowing, white canopies of the marquees are bedecked with twinkling fairy lights and the Fiesta goers sit happily underneath the warmth and safety of their interiors at large round tables festooned with party poppers and colourful crackers while brightly coloured pom poms hang from the ceilings.

The Fiesta is usually held in August which can be a very hot time of the year, so having the cool marquees to shelter under is a blessing that many of the party goers are grateful for. There are often more than 100,000 people on each of the four days of this spectacular, colourful phenomenon of Air Balloons, which launch into the skies twice a day, at 6:00am and 6:00pm, with one of the highlights being the Night Glow, where the balloons are lite up at night and glow and dance to music.
