The Balloons Over Waikato Trust proudly presents Balloons Over Waikato, an annual festival held March each year in Hamilton. The Festival is held annually, and typically falls in March.
The Base Basket Burn

The ZURU Nightglow
The substantial numbers of people expected to attend The ZURU Nightglow provides an opportunity to show off your merchandise and capitalise on sales opportunities.
Expressions of interest are now CLOSED.
Each year we look for potential vendors who wish to sell food, non-alcoholic beverages, merchandise and other general products and services at the ZURU Nightglow. All potential vendors will be matched with predetermined criteria to ensure sustainability for this high exposure event.
The Balloons Over Waikato Trust is continually seeking sponsorship from many sources. It is possible that such sponsorship may conflict with the products or services included in any application. If the Balloons Over Waikato Trust does gain such sponsorship, all vendors will be required to either stock a certain item or will not be able to sell any item covered by such sponsorship.
