Canberra Balloon Spectacular at Enlighten Festival
Each day from 6:15am pilots will begin inflating their balloons on the lawns of Old Parliament House before ascending into the sky and creating a picturesque backdrop for Canberra’s national attractions.
Passengers can experience the thrill of hot air ballooning over Canberra at sunrise while spectators on the ground are treated to an experience of the senses. Flurries of colour, sound and movement complemented by live music and a delicious hot breakfast available for purchase from the Belconnen Lions Club will make your morning one to remember.
Balloon flights are weather dependant. Call Canberra Connect, follow us on Enlighten on Facebook, visit the Enlighten Canberra website or tune into local radio stations from 6:15am for daily information.
