Canberra Spectacular – Launch Timelapse

The Canberra Balloon Spectacular is listed as one of the top four hot air ballooning events in the world.

In 2014 the festival celebrates its 28th year and is one of a kind and one of the few places in the world where hot air balloons can fly so close to houses of government and buildings of national significance.

There is truly no better way to start each cool Canberra Autumn morning than by participating in the Balloon Spectacular. Held over nine days, pilots will begin laying out and inflating their balloons on the lawns of Old Parliament House before they ascend into the sky to create an exhilarating back drop to our national attractions within the Parliamentary Zone.
