Who pays for the Fiesta?

Organising an event the size of the Bristol Balloon Fiesta requires significant funding. It's typically supported by a mix of corporate sponsorships, grants, and revenue from things like car parking fees. While it's free to enter the main site, these various income streams are crucial for covering the costs of infrastructure, security, and entertainment.
