Northampton Balloon Festival
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Northampton Balloon Festival is an annual event held in the English town of Northampton, in the Racecourse park. Managed by the Borough Council, it's held over a Friday, Saturday and Sunday in mid-August. The main features of the festival are the twice-daily hot air balloon lifts, but other attractions include trade stalls, live music and arena entertainment.
In 2003 the festival was joined with the Northampton Town Show (previously held during July) to become the Northampton Festival, but has since reverted to its original name.
The 2004 festival featured the Sugababes, Big Brovaz, and Ronan Keating.
The 2005 festival featured Rachel Stevens and Lemar.
