Rassemblement d'aérostiers qui, à bord de leur nacelle et durant une dizaine de jours, habituellement vers la mi-août, font une ascension matin et soir au grand plaisir des festivaliers qui voient s'envoler les montgolfières aux multiples formes et aux couleurs vives. Tenu depuis 1985 à Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu (Québec), le Festival célèbre son 20e anniversaire en 2004; son nom actuel souligne sa qualité de «plus grand rassemblement de montgolfières au Canada». Des activités récréatives et sociales et des spectacles culturels sont également au programme. 4, record 2, French, - L%27International%20de%20montgolfi%C3%A8res%20de%20Saint%2DJean%2Dsur%2DRichelieu

On doit dire «festival de montgolfières» (et non «des» montgolfières) parce qu'un tel événement ne peut jamais rassembler toutes les montgolfières de la planète. 4, record 2, French, - L%27International%20de%20montgolfi%C3%A8res%20de%20Saint%2DJean%2Dsur%2DRichelieu
