Ferrara Balloons Festival
An archive of the Ferrara Balloons Festival at Parco Urbano Giorgio Bassani. No new edition is confirmed here.
Ferrara’s tourism archive documents the balloon festival at Parco Urbano Giorgio Bassani, with flying, tethered rides and evening displays. The 2017 programme is a record of what happened in that year, rather than evidence that the event still runs every September.
Our calendar retains the festival as no longer held. This review did not locate a new official programme and does not assign a future date. That absence should not be used to invent a reason for the event’s closure or to make claims about the organiser’s finances.
If a return is announced, check the city’s tourism information for the date, venue and booking arrangements. The photograph on this page is from an earlier Ferrara festival. It is kept as an archive image, with its source and public-domain status recorded below.
