Head into the heart of the city and step inside a real hot air balloon at Garden Place.

This free, family-friendly experience is packed with colour, fun, music and entertainment, and is the perfect way to wrap up the magic of the Balloons Over Waikato festival.

Pop down, wander through, and soak up the atmosphere as we finish the week on a high.

Entertainment includes Pops Giant Games & Puzzles, Face Painters, Balloon Twisters, and Live Music with Jess Ruck-Nu’u. We will also have Bubbles the Clown making a guest appearance from 1pm-2.30pm.
