From January 13 – 20, 2024, the new year will open with this balloon meeting and special winter balloon rides will be offered. The highlight of the week is the Night of the Balloons at the Hornspitz station on January 17, 2024, which also the 2024 European Capital of Culture is part of. From 6 pm, the balloons will light up the night sky collectively. Illuminated, the gentle giants dance just above the ground in waltz time, conducted by a sophisticated light choreography.
