CANOWINDRA BALLOON FESTIVALStay tune for the 2023 dates!The fabulous Balloon Nightglow will be held on the evening of second Saturday of the festival week.ABOUT THE CANOWINDRA BALLOON FESTIVALCanowindra Challenge Inc. is a community based organisation that hosts an annual balloon competition and festival in the second week of the NSW April school holidays, to benefit Canowindra and the greater region. Visitors to the festival can wake up each morning to the visual spectacle of a mass launch and flight of a fleet of colourful hot air balloons, or take a flight themselves. The event highlight is the night balloon glow, with wine, food and craft markets. Various support events are held around the village during the week. Our history In 2010 local balloon operators Graham and Jan Kerr decided to take matters into their own hands and reinstate Canowindra’s claim as the “Ballooning Capital of Australia” by starting a new event called “The Canowindra Balloon Challenge”. Following the success of this first event, Graham and Jan went back to the Canowindra community with a proposal to grow the event by setting up a community organisation to co-ordinate and ensure benefits flow to the communities of Canowindra and surrounding areas. Their gamble paid off and in 2011 Canowindra Challenge Incorporated (CCI) was formed. Over the past 10 years the event has continued to grow and in 2011, 2013 and 2014 the Canowindra Balloon Challenge included the Australian National Balloon Championships sanctioned by the Australian Ballooning Federation. In 2014 and 2015 the event was also granted the sanction for a Category 2 International Balloon Competition by the Federation Aeronautique Internationale (FAI), the world sports aviation governing body. This Event is now recognised as a stand alone event. The Canowindra Balloon Challenge is held annually in April due to this time of year offering the most ideal weather conditions for flying hot air balloons. Historically this time of year provides calm wind currents, cool overnight temperatures and sunny days with a low chance of rain. It is a peak tourism period for Canowindra as there tends to be a movement of the caravan and motorhome market from south to north during this time of year – the annual migration to a warmer climate for the winter months. Awards HOW TO BE A PART OF THE 2023 BALLOON FIESTAThe best way to view the hot air balloon festival is definitely as passengers on board one of the balloons that will take to the skies at sunrise each morning. You can book your space on one of our fiesta flights for the experience of a life time; the excitement begins just before dawn as around thirty hot air balloons are inflated in the launch field – make sure to have your camera ready, it’s quite the spectacle – then take off and drifting over the Hunter Valley vineyards for an hour in the company of a fleet of hot air balloons. Celebrations continue after the flight back at Peterson House Winery with live music, a gourmet breakfast and a champagne tasting to wrap up an exciting and fun-filled morning.
