Balloon Bloom from 17 to 19 April 2026
During the festival weekend, a wide variety of live acts will provide entertainment. At the heart of the festival, however, are the model balloon pilots and kite experts, who will participate in the Balloon Bloom with their colorful and imaginatively designed aerial displays on all days.
While the East Garden around Emichsburg, located in the wind-sheltered valley, is ideal for balloons, the expansive South Garden offers perfect conditions even for kites that require more wind. Visitors can therefore look forward to a whirling welcome committee of a special kind as soon as they arrive!
At the premiere in March 2024, the festival attracted around 20,000 visitors over three days and set a new world record for Ludwigsburg: an impressive 81 model balloons ascended simultaneously for the Guinness World Record.
In addition, the model balloon and kite pilots are happy to introduce visitors to the world of professional ballooning and kite flying and are available to answer questions. Visitors are even allowed to touch the delicate balloon envelopes and kite skins, and the little ones can explore a walk-in balloon envelope.
