National Autumn Balloon Spectacular
The sight of dozens of colourful hot air balloons rising gently
into the early morning air from the lawns in front of
Canberra’s Old Parliament House is stirring. Perhaps that is
why Canberra’s Fiesta has become Australia’s premier
ballooning event, and the city’s signature autumn event. To
complement the spectacle of the majestic balloons, there are also
numerous other entertainments, sideshows and food stalls laid on in
the vicinity for the duration of the fiesta.
Venue: Old Parliament House Lawns;
Date: 6-14 March 2010;
