The event has also seen the return of many ongoing supporters and a range of new sponsors coming on board.

Late last year, Cabonne Council confirmed their ongoing support for the Regional Flagship Event, delivering the iconic Cabonne Country Balloon Glow & Night Market.

This event is sure to impress again this year, with some exciting shape balloons, a full entertainment program and a busking competition from 4pm.

"We wanted to make sure the event was even more memorable this year, with more for people to enjoy with entertainment as soon as you walk through the gates." Arthur Falconer said.

Another growing spectator event will be the Orange Motor Group Key Grab which showcases balloon pilot accuracy and skill held on the Sunday morning. Share in the excitement at Hamilton's Bluff Winery to see which pilot may take home the Orange Motor Group Key Grab prize.

The event is growing with a week full of activities to entertain visitors during the day and night, such as the YBM Golf Day at the Canowindra Golf Club, Canowindra Cabaret starring Tallulah Style Artist at the Canowindra Services Club, 100 Mile Dinner with Friends at the Old Vic Inn, Canowindra Pre-school Fundraiser Trivia Night at the Canowindra Bowling Club and a Bike Brag in the main street. Oh and let's not forget 2-Up in the Canowindra Services Club!

"This year, the event will also be raising funds for beyondblue, with a Golf Day sponsored by Orange accounting firm YBM and Tommy Jeff's famous Cabaret starring Tallulah." Arthur said.

"We are very excited about this year's event, and would like to thank each and every one of our sponsors for making it possible." Arthur said.
