Now in its incredible 37th year, the annual Balloon Fiesta promises four days of family fun. You also have the incredible Night Glows, which you must see at least once in your time in Bristol. These happen on the Thursday night and the Saturday night at 9.30, so definately worth a visit, if the weather holds.
This year the charity is Above and Beyond, who is also the annual charity for the Bristol Property Agents Association. So you can always volunteer on the day to help them as well, if you fancy a different kind of Fiesta.
Random factiod – the Fiesta attracts over 500,000 visitors a year.
Its a really good day out, with lots of varied events, food to cater for all tastes, with plenty of ice cream vans too. The RAF parachute team are also there.
