Get ready for an unforgettable spectacle as the Balloon Aloft Hunter Valley Fiesta returns this October Long Weekend (October 3rd - 6th, 2025) with an enchanting Balloons & Bubbles theme!
Australia's Adventure Tourism Operator of the Year, Balloon Aloft, is set to host the twelfth annual fiesta, promising a breathtaking display of colour and a truly unique way to experience the Hunter Valley.
The popular event will feature 20 to 30 vibrant hot air balloons gracefully ascending at sunrise each morning, with passengers on board the balloons provided with an unparalleled opportunity to soar above the picturesque vineyards and view the region's beauty from a new perspective. From high above, you'll witness the Hunter Valley unfold in all its glory, surrounded by a kaleidoscope of colourful balloons.
"It's such a special feeling being on board one of over twenty balloons as they float over the valley together at dawn," says organiser Matthew Scaife of Balloon Aloft.
"It really is an awe-inspiring experience and a must-do for anyone visiting the Hunter Valley over the October Long Weekend."
Adding an extra layer of magic to this year's fiesta, passengers will be equipped with bubble blowers, creating a whimsical cascade of bubbles during the flights. This promises not only endless fun but also incredible photographic opportunities as the bubbles shimmer against the dawn sky.
The celebration continues post-flight with everyone heading to Peterson House for a delicious bubbly breakfast. Indulge in their exquisite sparkling wines while enjoying the soulful tunes of popular local Hunter Valley artist Pat McMahon. It's the perfect way to cap off an exhilarating morning!
This highly anticipated event sells out every year, so don't miss your chance to be part of the magic. Spots are limited, and tickets on board the fiesta flights are in high demand.
