John Lowery, Event Organiser said. “We are looking forward to moving the event to May which will hopefully allow us to attract larger balloons and get better weather after the poor weather in 2019. As we keep improving the event it is our aim to become the UK’s biggest balloon fiesta within the next 10 years.”
York Balloon Fiesta is York’s largest FREE entry event & Yorkshire’s Largest Hot Air Balloon festival, it started in 2017 and attracts over 50 balloonists from all over the UK. The spectacular display of colourful balloons will be visible from the Knavesmire, home of York Racecourse.
New for this year’s Fiesta will be a dazzling large-scale firework and laser display which visitors can enjoy as part of the free entry event on Monday night. This will be created to celebrate the wonderful work of our Key Workers during the Covid-19 pandemic.
And not forgetting the return of the popular and stunningly beautiful hot air balloon night glows on both Friday and Saturday evenings.
There will also be York’s largest funfair with some of Europe’s largest rides including the world’s longest continuous inflatable assault course and the Wild Mouse Roller Coaster.
Also on site once again will be the birds of prey show, children’s activities and entertainment such as CBeebies’ Andy & the Oddsocks, along with live music from the main stage with headliners The Lancashire Hotpots, Definitely Oasis, The Take That Experience, Sam Sax, and many more to be announced.
