The municipal festival site describes competitive flying, illuminated balloons and entertainment on the ground. The venue is Parque Odilo Webber Rodrigues, on Avenida Castelo Branco in Torres, Rio Grande do Sul. Programme sessions and access arrangements should be checked with the municipality for the year you intend to visit.

The official website contains material from several editions. Some timetable entries belong to earlier years even when the surrounding page discusses a newer festival. For that reason, we have not carried an old daily timetable or an unconfirmed admission price into this guide.

A balloon competition and a passenger ride are separate arrangements. Ask the organiser which operators are taking bookings and what happens if conditions prevent flying. The festival has a history stretching back to 1989, but its long run does not establish next year’s dates: no 2027 programme was confirmed in this review.
