Bristol Junior Chamber pledges continued longstanding support to iconic Balloon Fiesta

The Bristol Junior Chamber (BJC) has declared its ongoing support for one of the city’s most iconic events, the Bristol International Balloon Fiesta, as one of this year’s sponsors.

Co-founded by the BJC back in 1979, the Fiesta has become Europe’s biggest annual gathering of hot air balloons and brings thousands of people to the city each year resulting in millions of pounds in investment to the local economy.

Unveiled as one of the supporters for the landmark event, the BJC is joined by household names such as Thatcher’s, Tesla and Butcombe Brewing in backing the free-to-enter Fiesta for its 45th year – returning for three days from Friday 9 to Sunday 11 August.

Emma Carter, President of the Bristol Junior Chamber, said: “The Bristol International Balloon Fiesta is one of the South West’s crown jewel events and, given its longstanding relationship with the BJC, we are delighted to declare our continued support as a sponsor for this year’s event.

“Being one of the Fiesta’s co-founders is something we and our members are truly proud of. It is an event that is synonymous with Bristol, bringing tremendous amounts of joy to the city’s residents, and we are excited by the prospect of seeing balloons take to the sky later this summer for all of Bristol to enjoy!” To find out more about the Bristol Junior Chamber, visit bristoljuniorchamber.co.uk or email info@bristoljuniorchamber.co.uk.
