Bristol International Balloon Fiesta on 8th, 9th and 10th August 2025.
I took this photo of the UK Dragon Dance Team at Bristol International Balloon Fiesta aka ‘Bristol Balloon Festival’ on Saturday 9th August 2025 and here’s me with the Dragon!!
It was the Bristol International Balloon Fiesta last weekend.
The UK Dragon Dance Team were grateful for the opportunity to perform there on Saturday, 9th August.
This international balloon festival in Bristol attracts about 500,000 people over the long weekend. Among many attractions, one of them is the Chinese Dragon.
Last year the UK Dragon Dance Team performed with the blue dragon called 'Dante'. This year they had a golden dragon for the first time, his name is Jin, which means 'gold' in Chinese.
Thank you for everyone involved for participating on site or in spirit from anywhere in the world!

We also handed out information about Falun Dafa meditation and many people were interested in finding more out about this ancient Buddhist spiritual practice. https://en.falundafa.org
Many people were shocked to hear about the persecution and horrified to find out about organ harvesting and many people were willing to sign the G7 petition.
