"The Bristol International Balloon Fiesta is a free-to-attend three-day event, running from Friday 7 to Sunday 9 August 2026. Held in the rolling hills of Ashton Court Estate, just on the outskirts of Bristol’s city centre the annual festival continues to celebrate the city, and the remarkable world of hot air ballooning, as it has done since 1979."

"As a not-for profit event it takes an incredible amount of year-round dedication by a small team of predominately volunteers to host this world-renowned event. We are incredibly proud that for the last 47 years we’ve stayed true to our constitution, to keep the event free.While the Fiesta is free to attend, we rely on your support to help make this event possible. If you’re driving, please purchase an official car parking ticket. You can also enhance your experience by exploring our hospitality options. Businesses and organisations are invited to get involved through exhibition or trade space, or by becoming event sponsors.If you walk up to our launches from Ashton Court Estate, or just love to see the balloons soar over your home and communities please consider making a small donation to help us keep this event free, and continue to put Bristol and ballooning on an international stage every August."

"Start your weekend on Friday 7th August, and witness over 100 hot air balloons take to the skies in two stunning mass ascents, weather permitting at dawn (approx. 6am) and dusk (approx. 6pm). The main arena will be buzzing all day with balloon-themed fun, stunt displays, marching bands, and more. As night falls, don't miss the breathtaking Nightglow — a magical display of glowing balloons set to music from BBC Radio Bristol."

"Spend your Saturday at the Fiesta on 8th August, with the skies set to fill with over 100 hot air balloons in mass ascents at dawn and dusk, weather permitting. From interactive challenges and tethered balloons to live music and family fun, there’s something for everyone. Round off the day with the spectacular Nightglow — as dozens of balloons light up in time to a soundtrack produced by BBC Radio Bristol."
