; Bristol, UK. The 46th Bristol International Balloon Fiesta at Ashton Court has a visit from an Alien balloon which inflates for spectators after the first mass ascent for the fiesta was cancelled due to high wind conditions making it unsafe for hot air balloons to fly. The fiesta is taking place from Friday 09 August to Sunday 11August with 120 balloons registered to take part. The Bristol International Balloon Fiesta is a free to attend, three-day event that celebrates the city and its heritage links to the remarkable world of hot air ballooning, with the city of Bristol playing the best matched host as the birthplace of ballooning in Europe, and now the capital of the sport worldwide.
