**COME FLY WITH US OVER CROATIA! **
Dear friends,
We’re reaching out not just as organizers – but as fellow balloonists, teammates, and believers in the magic of our sport.
This is your invitation to the place where ballooning doesn’t just happen – it’s celebrated. This year we’re once again hosting the Croatia Hot Air Balloon Open Championship together with the Prelog Balloon Fiesta, and we want YOU to be part of it.
Over the past few years, we’ve had the privilege of welcoming incredible pilots from Australia to Canada, and everywhere in between. We’ve built something truly special – and now, we want to take it to the next level.
Let’s unite the ballooning world – and Europe – together in Croatia.
Here’s what’s waiting for you:
– 20 competition team spots/ 10 spaces for fiesta pilots
– Unmatched flying conditions and breathtaking landscapes
– Accommodation (pilot + 3) and gas included
– A generous prize fund
– Top-level competition under director Christoph Fraisl
– A full fiesta program, concerts, and a community of 50,000 people cheering you on
This isn’t just about the skies – it’s about the people.
The town of Prelog and the Međimurje region have opened their homes and hearts to ballooning. This is their event as much as it is ours. The support, the hospitality, and the sheer joy you’ll experience here is unmatched.
We’ve seen lifelong friendships, unforgettable flights, and moments that remind us why we all fell in love with this sport.
