On 12 March Canberra Balloon Spectacular @Enlighten Festival lifts off. Held over 9 days, over 25 balloons from around Australia and overseas combine making the Canberra skyline a flurry of colour, sound and movement and a spectacle to remember. The balloons launch each morning from Patrick White Lawns, with balloon inflation from 6.15 am and launch around 7am, weather permitting. For those who have braved the dawn start there’s a hot breakfast to enjoy as the balloons lift off and drift across the dawn sky. Be sure to check out the balloons throughout the morning with great views around the lake and from the Arboretum. The balloons are scheduled to fly daily, weather permitting, from 12 -20 March. Daily announcements if balloons will launch and fly are made at 6.15am and published on enlightencanberra.com and via the Enlighten Festival and EventsACT social channels. This event is free for spectators. Tico The SlothCome and see this years feature balloon, Tico the sloth. Designed and crafted by Monahan Airways Ballooning, the concept behind Tico was born from a family conversation around the slow moving animal. A perfect representation and connection to the balloons that move slowly through the air. Fun Fact: The word ‘Tico’ is what Costa Ricans call themselves, used as a way of living the word means “Pure Life”. Its meaning encourages slowing down and enjoying life, the perfect name for our slow moving friend and a reminder when you see Tico moving (slowly) through the skies, to so slow down and enjoy your surroundings.
