Balloon Fiesta

If you love stories by Jules Verne and have always dreamt of going for a ride in a hoy air balloon. England is the country for you. Every August England celebrates the biggest hot air balloon festival in Europe. The festival takes place in Bristol, a world centre for ballooning and is called the Bristol Balloon Fiesta.

The festival was founded 25 years ago and has an amusing history. It began in 1978 when Don Cameron, owner of the world’s largest balloon manufacturer, Cameron Balloons, decided to create an event that would help balloonists from all over the world to get together.

On the weekend of the 7^th- 9^th September 1979, a small group of balloonists got together to celebrate the first Bristol Balloon Fiesta. Twenty-seven balloons shot into sky and were cheered by a large group of spectators. Not all the balloons were from England, some came from Germany, Luxemburg and Ireland. Local businesses and some national companies sponsored the Fiesta. Each sponsor was given a balloon to display his or her advertising banner. A total of 117 flights were made and the first balloon festival was declared a success. Over the years, the festival has grown to become Europe’s largest hot air balloon festival enjoying crowds of delighted spectators and national media coverage.

This year the Balloon Fiesta has celebrated its 25^th anniversary. The show started on the 27^th of August and lasted 4 days. Alongside traditional round shaped balloons there were also so called “special shapes’ which are balloons in the form of different objects and characters such as cartoon characters and cars.

Of course, the main condition for this festival to be successful is not good management but the weather, which, as you all know, is England’s worst enemy. Nobody in the whole world knows how many wonderful hopes and events have been ruined by its Majesty the Rain.
