August 23 – 25
With around 25 large balloons, about 8 model balloons, and more than 10,000 visitors, the Bad Griesbach Balloon Festival is one of the largest hot air balloon events in Bavaria.
You have the opportunity to watch the fascinating spectacle of the balloons being set up and launched, and the chance to experience the fascination of ballooning in the basket yourself at a special price during one of the five planned balloon launches from Friday to Sunday.
The thrilling balloon glow with musical choreography on Friday and Saturday evenings, with its impressive light and sound effects, is one of the highlights of the event and well worth a visit on its own. Live music and festival catering with a variety of food and drinks round off the balloon festival days in the Rottal region. With games, a large bouncy castle, and an inflated balloon envelope as a play cave, even the youngest balloon enthusiasts are well catered for. The event concludes on Friday evening with a brilliant fireworks display.
