Following the success of the Balloons in Oriental Bay last year, the Lift Off Levin Festival of Ballooning is bringing another special event to the heart of Wellington, this time to that national bastion of cricket, the Basin Reserve. The balloonists will apply more heat than a West Indian bowling lineup, and bring the flair of the Indian batsmen to this unique event that will see the ground light up with the choreographed colours of these flying giants, although they remain grounded for your viewing pleasure. The Nightglow begins at dusk, but in the meantime there will be stalls, music and entertainment to keep you amused, before the balloons light up from about 6pm. You can take the opportunity to view the balloons close up, take a seat in the stands or lie back on the bank to take in the panorama. Balloon events are weather dependent, so every effort will be made to notify of a cancellation by local radio stations, or by a posting at http://liftofflevin.blogspot.com.
