Experience hot air balloons firing up the night sky!

Balloonists from all over New Zealand are travelling to this event, providing a unique opportunity to experience tethered hot air balloons lighting up the night sky, glowing in unison to music.

New for 2019 – a firework show to finish off what is sure to be a wonderful autumn evening.

The Hororata Night Glow celebrates all things hot air balloons. Leading up to the ‘Glow’ visitors can walk through a cold inflated balloon or meet the pilots and experience the burners firing up close. The University of Canterbury will be running interactive demonstrations exploring Bernoulli’s principle and the science behind hot air balloons, they will also release a weather balloon with live telemetry feeding back to the event.

Surrounding the balloon action visitors will enjoy an autumn festival with gourmet food, wine and craft beer tastings, live music from Chilton House and The Sound Sensation. There will be a huge range of food vendors offering a multicultural culinary experience. Kids can join in the ‘Glow Circus’ learning how to juggle and have a go at other amazing acts for free. The fairground will have even more activities this year with something for all ages.
