Warsteiner Internationale Montgolfiade
The Warsteiner Internationale Montgolfiade remains a separate calendar entry, with the next exact dates still requiring confirmation.
The official WIM website describes balloon flights, special shapes, concerts and other activities around the Warstein gathering. Much of the detailed news and programme currently visible belongs to 2025. It should not be used as a daily timetable for a later edition.
Our calendar records a change from the former annual pattern, but this reading did not establish exact new dates from the organiser’s site. A presumed September slot is not enough to book festival travel. Wait for a dated announcement before reserving accommodation specifically for WIM.
Passenger flights, camping and hospitality have separate booking arrangements. Check the programme attached to the product you choose and the terms for weather cancellations. The cover photograph shows a launch near Oeventrop in 2019, identified by its photographer with the Montgolfiade; it is an archive image.
