Balloon Fiesta

Wairarapa Balloon Fiesta

The March 26/30, 2008 Wairarapa International Balloon Fiesta will be the tenth major fiesta in as many years to be held in the Wairarapa region, a spectacular part of New Zealand, with a population of 38,000, an hour’s drive from the capital city of Wellington.

The region’s patchwork landscape of large open paddocks, good road network and welcoming landowners help make life easy for the balloonists, crews and spectators.

Uncontrolled airspace and absence of a major airport in the Wairarapa gives balloon pilots more freedom than at many other events. They have been able to enjoy flights up to 9,500 feet, with stunning views of New Zealand’s snow-capped Southern Alps to the south, and the Pacific Ocean over mountains to the west and hills to the east. We love balloons.

Kings Fourth Generation Woodworking has an ongoing involvement with the Balloon Fiesta.
