Balloon Festival

The annual Balloon Festival returns to Marina Square Central Atrium from March 14 to 22, 2026. This event features an immersive balloon experience called 'Forest of Wonders,' which uses larger-than-life balloon artistry to create a fantasy environment.

A central attraction is a 12-meter-tall Strawberry Fairy House, sculpted to resemble a giant strawberry with textured seeds and a leafy green crown roof. The house includes white framed windows and a mint green door, topped with two fanciful fruit fairies.

The installation is surrounded by a lush forest of blooming flowers and layered greenery. Inside the fairy-tale house, visitors encounter a kaleidoscope of magical clouds and an enchanting realm enhanced with strawberry-scented mist.

The festival aims to spark joy, wonder, and childlike imagination through its visual spectacle. Additionally, families can participate in balloon sculpting workshops on March 14, 15, 21, and 22 at 4pm.

These one-hour sessions teach balloon sculpting techniques, allowing participants to create a keepsake sculpture—either a bear or an octopus. The workshops are priced at $20 per parent-child pair. Admission to the festival itself is free.
