Ballonfiësta Barneveld

The festival’s address is Kasteel de Schaffelaar, Stationsweg 6 in Barneveld. Its programme brings balloon teams to the estate for launches and an illuminated evening display. The organiser also supports charitable causes through the event.

A walk-in balloon is among the activities described on the website. It lets visitors enter an envelope laid out on the ground; it is not a flight. That distinction matters when choosing activities for children or deciding whether a separate passenger booking is needed.

The next dates are announced, but timetable and ticket details should be checked for 2027 before travel. Some programme material can remain online from earlier editions. Use the organiser’s current instructions for entry, parking and accessibility, and allow for weather changes to the balloon sessions. The photograph shows a previous night glow at Barneveld.
