The town of Renmark will again come alive for the Riverland Balloon Fiesta. This very successful and expanding event is the only official ballooning event held in South Australia.Hot Air Balloon launches are held daily rising from the mist at 6am and again amongst Renmark’s finest winter sunshine at 3pm. Weather conditions and wind speeds determine the best location for the launch of the hot air balloons, therefore several alternative launch sites across the region are agreed upon by the Chief Pilot.
Another huge draw card for this spectacular event is the Hot Air Balloon Night Glow, where at night, the balloons are inflated and create a magnificent photo opportunity. The Balloon Night Glow offers a family fun atmosphere with age appropriate activities and a range of food and drink stalls. Entry is by Gold Coin Donation.
On the Sunday there will be a Market at the Town Ovals, kite making & hot air balloon models made by local Primary School children will be on display and other activities will be happening around the town!
Commercial flights will also be available to those who wish to take in some spectacular and unique views of the mighty Murray River and the Riverland.
The Balloon Fiesta venue is the Renmark Oval Complex Ral Ral Avenue 5341, and will be held Saturday 11th June 6am to 3pm, with the Night glow at 5.30pm; Sunday 12 June 6am to 3pm; and Monday 13th June 6am to 3pm.
