The Balloons over Waikato is New Zealand’s leading hot air balloon festival. Held annually in Hamilton over a 5-day period, this event marks a magical time to be in Hamilton. And Aspen Manor Motel is the perfect place to stay.

The Balloons over Waikato runs from March 21-25. The balloons take off every morning from Innes Common around 7am and the days are filled with activities for families to enjoy.

This free event attracts local, national and international balloonists. “This iconic five-day festival is one of his highlights of the year for Hamilton, so it’s not to be missed,” says Grace Tong, operator at Aspen Manor Motel.

This year's event sees six special shapes from around the world visiting the Waikato. The first being the world's first flying Beaver who come to New Zealand from Montana.

The big event of the festival is the Zuru Nightglow on Saturday March 24 from 4pm -9pm. As Hamilton’s biggest night out, The Nightglow sees the University of Waikato fields covered in balloons and entertainment including live music and the best fireworks display in the city.

For those coming out of town for the festival, Aspen Manor Motel offers comforting and stylish accommodation to relax into after a day of activities. “Our friendly and attentive staff will provide everything anyone could need during a stay,” adds Grace

The Balloons over Waikato Trust is a non-profit organisation which has been overseeing the running of this iconic Hamilton event for 18 years. The Festival has been voted six times Best Waikato Event by the public of Hamilton. In 2015 the event won the Best Established Community Event in New Zealand at the NAEP Awards.
