The Fiesta is a world-class hot air ballooning festival and one of the UK's top five outdoor events.
Held in the rolling hills of Ashton Court on the edge of Bristol, it is a hugely popular free event. Around half a million people from across the country and beyond flock to the event over four days each August.
Founded in 1979, it has become an icon for Bristol, as synonymous with the city as Brunel's Suspension Bridge.
Estimated to boost the local economy to the tune of £10 million each year, it is run by a not-for-profit organisation.
