What about the Bristol Balloon Fiesta Nightglow?
The first night of the Fiesta is famous for the breathtaking spectacle that is the Night Glow, attracting crowds of around 100,000 people.
The famous Night Glow
As night falls on the first day of the Fiesta, people of all ages flock to watch the striking Night Glow. Some 30 tethered balloons illuminate like giant light bulbs using their liquid gas burners, creating magical patterns against the darkening night sky. Under coded instructions via radio communication, the pilots create a variety of dazzling effects from only three main commands: burn, flicker and flash. These astounding sequences are set to a special music mix which was produced last year by GWR Fm. An impressive array of sequences are expertly choreographed to the rhythm of the music and the atmospheric display leads to a dramatic finale - a magnificent firework display, put together by Bristol-based Skyburst. Energetic and awe-inspiring it's a night to remember!
Go early in the evening to secure a good vantage point for the fantastic display, the roads get very very busy around the site.
The event is set in the rolling parkland of Ashton Court Estate in Bristol, the Fiesta features mass balloon launches of over 100 balloons plus a wealth of family entertainment.
