Canberra Balloon Spectacular – A Breathtaking Aerial Display

Canberra Balloon Spectacular 
Each year, as autumn settles over the capital, the Canberra Balloon Spectacular transforms the city’s skies into a breathtaking panorama of floating color. From March 15 to March 23, early risers will be treated to the sight of dozens of hot air balloons drifting above the city, creating a stunning spectacle at dawn.

The event, free for spectators, offers a unique and peaceful way to start the day. Each morning from 6 am, weather permitting, balloons launch from the Parliamentary Triangle, filling the sky with vibrant hues against the backdrop of Lake Burley Griffin and Canberra’s iconic landmarks. Visitors can bring a picnic blanket and enjoy a hot breakfast from the food stalls while watching the graceful ascent of the balloons.

Balloon enthusiasts looking for a more immersive experience can take to the skies themselves with passenger flights lasting approximately 45 minutes. These flights, hosted by Balloon Aloft, conclude with a celebratory champagne toast, making for a truly memorable adventure. The total tour duration is approximately three to four hours, and flight paths change daily depending on wind conditions, offering a different view each time.

The Canberra Balloon Spectacular has been a beloved event since 1996, drawing balloonists from across Australia and around the world. Whether experienced from the ground or high above the city, the festival provides countless picture-perfect moments. Spectators can capture stunning views from vantage points around the lake, the National Arboretum, or even from nearby hilltops.

For those wishing to take flight, bookings are essential, with weekday flights starting at $445 per person and weekend flights, including Canberra Day, at $495 per person. As one of the most enchanting events in the capital’s calendar, the Canberra Balloon Spectacular promises an unforgettable experience for visitors and locals alike.
