A festival of music and wonder that exhilarates you to the rhythm of a major musical lineup, while making you experience hot air balloons in all its facets. Each year, it colors the sky with the largest number of balloons in the country. Added to this are a number of activities, a large ride area and an offering fit for foodies, all of which contribute to the unifying atmosphere of the festival.
En général tout était bien, par contre il faudrait plus de point d’eau (la ligne était interminable) et de food truck l’année prochaine (nous avons attendu 3hrs pour notre souper… aucun sens 🥴 en plus qu’il restait seulement 2 choix dans le menu!)
Jason Derulo was incredible! Love it! The problem was the organisation of food and beverage stands. Only 3 stands for meals and over 1h30 wait for the beverage stands. In such a heat its unthinkable. They need at lease 5 times more if not 10 times! When we saw that on the internet site we decided to eat before! Thank god. But loved the show!!!
Jason derulo, Meilleur spectacle que j’ai vue de tout ma vie a votre festival.
Too many people at this event. Long line ups for food and drinks.
We were suppose to fly Thursday evening, it was raining and was anticipated to rain all day (which it absolutely did), but the tickets STILL required us to drive all the to St Jean Sur Richelieu otherwise we would not be able to reschedule our flight or be refunded. So we made the drive all the way there to be told the flights would be cancelled (big shock 🙄). We rescheduled for the following morning and there was a VERY low chance of rain. Arrived the next morning between 5-545am (we arrived at 525am figuring that would be ample time) like the instructions told us. We checked in at the first window, where we were given our tickets. Here’s where their lack of organization became problematic…. Once we checked in at the first window we had to wait in another line for around 30-45 min for the second window. Why did we have to wait in line again? Because in someone’s mind, printing the waivers in real time, at the window when each “passenger” presented themselves at said second window, would be efficient…. So me and my son get to the window, I sign the waivers (there was only ONE person printing the waivers…. I guess the girl who was working the first window finally decided to help girl #2 to get passengers through, cause the wait was RIDICULOUS. There was a third girl who sat in the little hut with a blanket wrapped Around her doing absolutely nothing… not sure what her function was, but she seemed to just take up space) I really think they need to rectify this… Print the waivers a day in advance, file them alphabetically, that way they’re ready to go when passengers present themselves for their flight…. That way the pilots and other passengers of the balloons aren’t waiting for those in line waiting to have their waivers printed :/ To add to this, once we had our waivers and we’re ready to go, we find out the pilot of our balloon didn’t show up (the ladies printing the waivers at the ticketing window did NOT have this info….) so there was about 3 people running around like chickens with their head cut off trying to find a replacement balloon… which further agitated me because it was early (we woke up at 330am to get to st Jean for 525am) and I was not impressed with the level of organization for the passengers of the hot air balloons (a pilot of one of the balloons had apologized to me for the lack of organization as I apologized to her for making the ride delayed for her and her other passengers. What does that say for the hot air balloon festival) Anyway, I doubt I’d go back. I’m not discouraging anyone from attending, by all means, it was VERY cool!!! Just make sure you have the patience of a saint and are ok attending an experience that is very disorganized It was an incredible experience while airborne, but I think I’ll try
One of the best festivals organizations! The site was clean, a lot of toilet and really clean. Nothing to complain. Definitely thinking about buying the festival passport for next year!
The artist only came on stage at 11pm show claimed to start at 8pm. Tory Lanes horrible show. Lip singing 😮💨
Bonjour, Moi et mes ami(es) y avons été pour Koriass, Alicia Moffet et Jason Derulo et nous avons adoré!!! L’installation était génial, il avait suffisamment de toilette et la nourriture était à un prix quand même raisonnable pour un festival. Par contre, certain de nos amis on trouver qu’il manquais de kiosque à bière donc l’attente était un peu trop long. Ils on du attendre environ 45 mins. Mais sinon rien a dire les montgolfières étaient superbe et les show étaient incroyable.
Tout le site sentait de hachisch. C’était insupportable. Je n’irai jamais plus à cet événement.
C'est un site formidable pour les festivités familiales. On sent toutefois que l'organisation tend à réorienter ses avenues en limitant les aires assises qui satisfont et aident grandement les familles. L'idée de la mise en place d'écrans géants est à prendre en considération dans l'objectif de permettre à tous d'apprécier le spectacle. Toutefois le décalage était oups... La circulation autant pour les stationnements est parfaite. Un peu d'attente aux aires de repas mais considérant le fort achalandage de samedi le 20 août, c'était compréhensible. Félicitations à tous!! Les jeunes au stationnement, chapeau!! Ça ne devait pas être évident au gros soleil! Bravo à l'organisation pour la variété de tout tout tout!! Succès!!
The experience was wonderfull..the sound was very good..I love Charlotte Cardin😍😍
Toujours aussi surprenante et d'une simplicité remarquable. Show chaleureux. J'ai passé une excellente soirée.
This has been an amazing week of sights, sounds and taste! If you like the amazement of hot air balloon’s, the sound of great music, and the taste of good old fashion fair food….. this is the week for you!
J’avais jamais vu de montgolfière et je suis pas déçu. J’ai adorer le spectacle de Charlotte Cardin elle est adorable
Billets électroniques pour le stationnement et le show = entrée facile et rapide ! Un beau soleil, des montgolfières plein le ciel, Zac Zoya et Charlotte Cardin avec la famille c'était une vraiment belle soirée 😍
Incroyable et impressionnant ! Bon spectacle et magnifique envolée des montgolfières.
Les billets affichait Billy Talent à 20h. Arrivé sur place l'avant première jouait, ok pas de problème. Vers 20h30 mon conjoint décide de vérifier le site de l'international et boom Billy talent 22h15. Les billets aurait dû afficher l'heure correct ainsi que les premières parties.
The Billy Talent show was an absolute delight but early on some idiots rushed through the fans from behind and I was almost knock off my feet 3 times, and I am 6 ft tall / 200 pounds. I feel like there could have been présence from the security, they were no where to be found. There was some pushing around going on and this could easily degenerate.
Jai adorer le festival, c'etais tres propre! belle activitée, le seul vrai bemol a cette soirée étais hubert lenoir.. aucun respect des artistes autour de lui, son contenue etais vraiment de mauvais gout.. bref je n'ai vraiment pas aimer ce personnage. Sinon, billy talent etais incroyable.
To be short : Franklin electric was good(4 stars), Hubert Lenoir was horrible (worst "show" I have ever seen by a long shot, 0 stars) and Billy Talent was amazing (5 stars!!!). I think part of the problem is just that Hubert Lenoir's crowd and Billy Talent's crowd are just not the same people. What were they thinking putting these two back to back. Horrible. I dont even understand.
