He interrupted before we could ask what was the reason for holding the festival in Tamil Nadu, especially in Pollachi.
“The world’s largest balloon festival is held in Albuquerque, USA. The place is a desert. There is no main city. It has now become a special destination for balloon festivals in the United States.
Our aim is to develop Pollachi as a tourism destination. Besides, Pollachi is also the best place for this festival. Its beautiful landscape, view and climate are perfect for holding a balloon festival.
Tourism is very supportive for us. The young people working there were very eager to help us.
Currently, various balloons in the shape of dinosaurs, bears and cartoons have landed from countries including Brazil, America and Thailand. The height of balloons averages from 60 feet to 100 feet. No risk factors. All the facilities are ready to celebrate like a family carnival! ” to the one who said, “Can we go for a ride in a balloon? Will you give us a ride?” We asked.
“A lot of people ask this question. This festival is held to the amazement of the people as they watch the huge flying balloons. We are making some arrangements for the ride. But, it is not possible for all age groups. Also, we have organized many art programs.
