January 9th is Balloon Ascension Day

Balloon Ascension Day takes place on January 9th , it is an international date for celebrating balloons of all kinds. The date was designated Balloon Ascension Day, after Jean Pierre Blanchard became the first man to successfully ascend in a balloon on the North American Continent. The original Balloon Ascension Day happened on Jan 9th, 1793, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, with Blanchard landing in Woodbury, New Jersey. This event helped to spread the fascination with ballooning that the majority of Western society shared at the time. This fascination with ballooning led to the designation of a day solely to celebrate Ballooning.
While, at the time of it’s inception, Balloon Ascension Day was only meant for the large, hydrogen-filled, silk balloons of the time; it has since expanded to include all manner of balloons. The day is now for the recognition of every time of balloon, from small, helium-filled party balloons, to the massive, hot air balloons that have become commercially successful in modern times.
