An unavoidable summer festival rendezvous for fans of large concerts.
The largest balloon gathering in Canada!
The greatest family event!
The full program will be announced Tuesday, May 28th, 2013

Between the International Balloon Festival and me, well, it's a real family affair! Being a native of Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, it is with pleasure and pride that I accept this year the honor of being the ambassador for the 30th anniversary of the festival that I grew up with!

How long does the flight last?

A flight lasts approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour depending of the weather at the real takeoff time. As a passenger, you should plan up to 3 or 4 hours of your time for the duration of the whole activity (meeting your pilot, preparing the equipment for the inflation, take-off, flight, landing, store away the equipment, traditional ceremony and back to the starting point.)
