This Easter, set your alarms, bundle up warm, and watch the magic of hot air balloon ascensions or lift-offs spread throughout the Wairarapa.  

You'll be able to meet the pilots, see the burners roar to life as the colourful balloons inflate, and lift off into the dawn sky. 

Can’t make it to the field? Just step outside with your morning cuppa and look up - you might spot the balloons floating across the Wairarapa sky!
