Upon presentation of a disabled parking ticket, you can use a specially equipped car park on Blaauwhoflaan, directly behind the festival site.

This depends on the weather conditions. Every evening, the pilots are briefed about the latest weather situation. Based on this, it is determined whether or not the balloons can go into the air. Ultimately, the pilot decides for himself whether or not to sail. We communicate the latest news about the balloon takeoff via our social media channels.

Balloons can only go into the air when the thermals have decreased sufficiently. This is often the case around two hours before sunset. What time the balloons go into the air also depends on the weather conditions, for example because you first have to wait until the wind has subsided sufficiently. In a normal situation, the balloons will take off around 8 p.m., but this is certainly not an established fact. Depending on the situation at that moment, the balloons may go up earlier or later, or may not even take off at all. So be sure to keep an eye on our social media accounts for the latest information.

In good weather, a maximum of 35 balloons go into the air. The pilot decides whether or not to launch a balloon. This depends on various factors, including weather conditions.

The list of participating balloons is here to find.

Most participating balloons are present every evening. The weather conditions determine which balloons will actually be visible. We'll keep you up to date via our social media accounts.

Pilots can register via this form. The organization will contact you if your registration has been accepted. If you have any questions, please send an email to ballonnen@ballonfeesten.nl

Yes, you can. For the terms and conditions, please send an email to balloons@balloonfestival.nl.

You can here book a balloon ride.

Taking a balloon ride during the 37th edition of the Frisian Balloon Festival costs 225 euro per person for an evening flight.

Ballooning is relatively the safest form of aviation. A hot air balloon accident is rare. This is partly due to the strict requirements for pilots/crew and equipment. All pilots at the Frisian Balloon Festival have a valid certificate and are medically examined every year. All the material used for ballooning must also undergo a strict inspection every year. So taking a balloon ride is certainly safe.

Children can ride in a balloon if they are taller than 1.30 meters. Otherwise, they will not be able to look over the edge of the basket on their own. Larger children are allowed to go accompanied by a parent or guardian. There is no maximum age for taking a balloon ride. However, you must be fit enough to jump off a chair.

Unfortunately, if you are pregnant, you are not allowed to ride in a balloon.

Contact the organization info@ballonfeesten.nl

This depends on the size of the balloon and the size of the balloon basket. This ranges from 2 to 18 people.

In principle, a balloon ride takes one hour. This may be deviated from depending on weather conditions and landing options.

If you are afraid of heights, don't worry. The fear of heights disappears as soon as the hot air balloon loses contact with the ground.

We try to place the group together in a balloon as much as possible, but that depends on the size of the balloon and the number of groups present. So we don't guarantee that everyone can go up in the same balloon.

In principle, no refund of money will be made. In that case, we will try to find another date with you on which the balloon ride can take place.

The balloon ride will be scheduled at another time as soon as possible. The organization will contact you.
