120 years since the first balloon flight in Košice
We are delighted to invite you to the incredible 29th Košice Balloon Fiesta! From May 27th to 31st May 2026, dozens of colorful balloons will fill the sky above the eastern metropolis. We’ll bring out our entire balloon fleet from the garage, and we’ll be joined by balloons from Austria, the Netherlands, Germany, the Czech Republic, Hungary, the USA, and Great Britain. Among them will be 3 special shape balloons!
The fiesta center can be found at the Technical University of Košice campus – near the baseball field on Vysokoškolská Street. This is where the mass balloon launches are planned, which are an unforgettable experience for visitors. We start with an evening launch on Wednesday and finish with a morning launch on Sunday.
In addition to the balloon launches, every day from Wednesday to Saturday from 16:00 we also have a fiesta village ready for you, with a food zone, accompanying programme and attractions for children. The highlight of the fiesta is the night-time balloon inflation on Friday, 29 May at 21:00. Don’t miss this evening! You don’t get to experience a balloon light show to the rhythm of music—and under the stars—every day :)
Admission to the event is free.
