The story

BA Flota Balloon Festival in Buenos Aires

A field of hot air balloons inflated and tethered, never flown free, inside Parque de la Ciudad in Villa Soldati, building to an after-dark Night Glow where burners fire in sequence to light and music, alongside classic car displays, a kids' zone and flight-themed activities.

At BA Flota, none of the hot air balloons actually fly free: every one stays tethered to the ground throughout the display, including during the evening finale, a safety rule organizers repeat often because visitors expect to be able to ride in the baskets and cannot.

01

The place changes

02

The mystery stays covered

It brought balloon-festival scale to a South American capital's public park for the first time, rather than the rural airfields where such events usually happen
