National days & opening ceremonies
National day & ceremony entertainment
National days and opening ceremonies need a moment the whole crowd can see. HALO puts a performer twenty metres above the audience beneath a six-metre balloon — visible from the far end of a parade ground, a waterfront or a stadium.
The act has flown for UAE National Day at Dubai Festival City as a duo-balloon formation, and for the opening ceremony of the UAE Football Championship. Flag reveals released from altitude are one of its signature moments.
Why it works
A flag reveal from the sky
National flags and fabric reveals are released from altitude — timed to the anthem or a cue in your run-of-show.
Duo formations
Two balloons and two aerialists flown in formation, as performed at Dubai Festival City for UAE National Day.
No structure in the sky
No crane, truss or rigging point — the balloon carries itself, so it works over open grounds and waterfronts.

Questions planners ask
Can the aerialist release a national flag?
Yes. Flag and fabric reveals released from altitude are a regular part of national day and ceremony programmes.
Can two balloons fly together?
Yes. Duo-balloon formations with two aerialists have been performed for UAE National Day.
How much space is needed?
A flat 10 × 10 m inflation area clear of overhead obstruction, plus a 5 m exclusion zone during inflation. The performance area is agreed with your production team.
