Looking Ahead: 🎈 The Balloon Spectacular

From March 15 to 23, the skies above Canberra will be filled with hot air balloons each morning. Balloons will launch from John Dunmore Lang Place, where you'll find a vibrant festival atmosphere with food trucks and coffee carts. The balloon flights are weather-dependent. You can check the Canberra Balloon Spectacular website from around 6am for daily flight announcements. But even if the balloons don't take flight, some will still inflate and tether on-site.
