Northampton Balloon Festival
Friday 18th to Sunday 20th August 2023. Midday to 10.30pm daily. Northampton Racecourse.
Northampton Town Council are delighted to support the return of Northampton Balloon Festival to the Racecourse this summer. The event is run by Show Time Events Group (Northern) Ltd and will take place over three days from 18th- 20th August 2023.
As well as an array of balloons on display and flights throughout the weekend delivered by Vista Balloon Flights, further activities will include live arena entertainment with stunt displays, craft and community marquees, charity stalls and trade stalls, circus workshop, catering units, bars, funfair, plus much more, culminating with a firework finale on Sunday evening.
The Balloon Festival originally took place on Northampton Racecourse from 1989-2008 and became one of the largest in the country, with the support of the local community and local businesses. To re-establish this nostalgic event and build on its welcomed return, Northampton Town Council are pleased to be hosting the Community Tent at the festival this year with tables and chairs kindly sponsored by local marquee and equipment hire company, Chelsea Hire.
