Canberra Balloon Spectacular 2026





Overview
Marvel at hot air balloons floating across the city during the Canberra Balloon Spectacular.
The balloons inflate and launch each morning from around 6am and for those who have braved the dawn start there's a hot breakfast to enjoy as the balloons lift off and drift across the dawn sky.
This event is free for spectators.
This event is weather dependent. Daily announcements if balloons will launch and fly are made at around 6am and published on website and EventsACT social channels.
