One of Telford’s most popular annual events is set to return this summer, as the Telford Balloon Fiesta 2026 takes over Telford Town Park for a weekend filled with colour, entertainment and unforgettable experiences for all ages.

Taking place from Friday 28 to Sunday 30 August 2026, the much-loved event will once again bring together spectacular balloon displays, live entertainment and family activities in the heart of Telford.

The weekend begins with the popular Night Glow on Friday 28 August from 5pm to 10pm. This special ticketed evening event offers visitors the chance to see illuminated hot air balloons glowing in sync to music, creating a magical atmosphere as day turns to night.

The celebrations continue across Saturday 29 and Sunday 30 August, with the free Balloon Fiesta taking place from 12pm to 7pm each day in Telford Town Park. Families and visitors can enjoy a packed programme of entertainment alongside impressive balloon displays in one of the region’s most popular green spaces.

The Telford Balloon Fiesta has become a highlight of the borough’s events calendar, attracting visitors from across the region and offering a fantastic opportunity to enjoy a summer day out in Telford.

Whether you’re planning a family weekend, meeting friends or simply looking to experience one of the area’s biggest events, the Balloon Fiesta promises plenty to enjoy across the Bank Holiday weekend.

Further details, including Night Glow ticket information and the full event programme, will be announced soon.
