The Elevate Festival is a unique hot air balloon themed event held in Northam, Australia's premier hot air ballooning destination.
The event heralds the start of the 23rd National Ballooning Championships where the skies of Northam will be filled with hot air balloons.
This evening event will be held at Henry Street Oval, Northam. It provides interactive opportunities for spectators including unique hot air balloon experiences, live music, food stalls, family entertainment as well as a chance to meet the hot air balloon pilots.
Weather permitting, the hot air balloons will be tethered to the ground and inflated at sunset. The balloon burners will be ignited periodically to keep the balloons inflated, creating a spectacular balloon glow display for the audience.
