Aimed at promoting Visit Sri Lanka 2011 year, the Sri Lanka Tourism supported Hot Air Balloon Festival 2011 came to a conclusion yesterday at the Independence Square. Organised by the Ceylon Airship and Balloon Club for the fourth time, the balloon fest drew participants from America, England, Italy, Japan, Germany, Switzerland and Sri Lanka.

It began mid March with balloonists flying over Sigiriya, Dambulla, Anuradhapura, Trincomalee, and Jaffna. Yesterday some of the participants showed their full blown balloons in Colombo for the benefit of the public - Pic by Daminda Harsha Perera
