The Bristol International Balloon Festival is a world-class hot air ballooning festival and is recognized as one of the UK’s top five outdoor events. Founded in 1978, the Festival has become a symbol for Bristol, the same as Brunel’s famous Suspension Bridge.

Held in the rolling hills of Ashton Court on the edge of Bristol, the Festival is hugely popular and completely free, attracting around half a million people from across the country and beyond. This year, for the first time, visitors will get to see how a hot air balloon is made. To celebrate its 40th anniversary, the world’s largest hot air balloon producer, Cameron Balloons, will take on the challenge of constructing a passenger-carrying balloon, on site, in about four days.

Other events to look forward to at the Bristol International Balloon Festival include daredevil stunts(冒险特技表演) from the Red Arrows, over 250 trade stalls, local and international food stalls, and a funfair(露天游艺集市). Here’s what’s on in detail:
