You may think that the biggest difference between the more bus Bournemouth Air Festival and a conventional Air Show is that it is free! That’s true but not all. The other difference is that after three hours or more of tremendous air displays the show still rolls on into the night. And a large part of the evening displays revolves around the local helium balloon The Bournemouth Eye and its numerous Hot Air Balloon big brothers.
To participate in the Air Festival visit Bournemouth between Thursday 20th of August and Sunday 23rd August 2009.
You will find the balloons on the beach during the air display. And later, as the sun sets the balloons will be spread out in the vicinity of the Bournemouth Eye waiting for dark and the start of their display.
