Welcome to the Balloon Aloft Fiesta
The Balloon Aloft Hunter Valley Fiesta is back for 2023!
Join us from Friday 29th September to Monday 2nd October for the Hunter Valley’s only hot air ballooning fiesta – an incredible display of colourful hot air balloons launching and flying over the Hunter Valley region each morning of the Long Weekend.
The event features approximately 20-30 hot air balloons launching at dawn each morning, filling the skies with colour and excitement.
The festival is a great opportunity to experience the beauty of the Hunter Valley from a new perspective. Guests can enjoy a bubbly breakfast at Peterson House Winery after their flight, and then spend the day exploring the many wineries, restaurants, and shops in the region.
The Balloon Aloft Fiesta is a truly unforgettable experience, and it is a must-do for anyone visiting the Hunter Valley in October.
HOW TO BE A PART OF THE BALLOON FIESTA
The best way to view the hot air balloon festival is definitely as passengers on board one of the balloons that will take to the skies at sunrise each morning. You can book your space on one of our fiesta flights for the experience of a life time.
The excitement begins just before dawn as all around you, hot air balloons are inflated in the launch field – make sure to have your camera ready, it’s quite the spectacle. Following take-off, you’ll float gently across the skies of the Hunter Valley for an hour in the company of this magnificent fleet of hot air balloons.
Following the flight, celebrations continue after the flight back at Peterson House Winery with live music, a gourmet breakfast and a champagne tasting to wrap up an exciting and fun-filled morning.
