The fair began in 1972 as a shopping-mall-parking-lot event with just 13 balloons, and these days, it attracts about 700 balloonists and over 100,000 spectators, and it is world's largest hot-air balloon event. Spectators are treated to a rainbow spectacle of balloons in all manner of colours and patterns. There is a Special Shapes Rodeo where imaginative, non-traditional, whimsical-shaped balloons are launched at the same time.
