Drifting silently over countryside and city, hot air balloons offer the gentlest form of flight. These colorful giants of the sky have captured human imagination since the first brave aeronauts rose above Paris in 1783. Today they fill festival skies with brilliant colors and carry passengers on peaceful journeys over beautiful landscapes.

Balloons of Every Design

Traditional teardrop shapes rise gracefully with their wicker baskets below. Special shape balloons take fantastic forms: animals, castles, cartoon characters, and objects that seem impossible to fly. Tethered balloons offer short rides while anchored to the ground. Competition balloons race across skies in organized events. Historic balloons recall the earliest days of human flight.

Patterns in the Sky

Hot air balloons are natural canvases for color. Vertical stripes, horizontal bands, checkerboard patterns, spirals, and solid blocks divide envelopes into sections begging for creative palettes. Children can follow existing patterns or invent their own designs. No two balloons need look alike, and the sky is literally the limit for color combinations.

Festival Scenes

Balloon festivals fill our pages with dozens of colorful shapes launching together at dawn. Inflation fans spread envelopes flat before burners heat the air inside. Pilots adjust altitude by firing flames upward. Ground crews chase balloons in retrieve vehicles. The whole celebration of balloon flight unfolds for coloring.
