During the last weekend of April 2012, the airspace above Waregem, Belgium will be filled with hot air balloons!
It is already the 14th edition of this ballooning event. The balloon meeting takes place on the Gaverbeek Hippodrome in the middle of the city of Waregem.
On Sunday afternoon 29th April the local television FOCUS/WTV also organizes the event “Waregem kinderstad” at the same location.
And: the entrance is FREE. Balloonhappening Waregem is an event of the city of Waregem, in cooperation with Gino Ciers hot air balloon flights from Hulste (near Harelbeke, Belgium).
Everything about hot air balloons and helicopters
All planned activities include hot air balloons : on Saturday 28 and Sunday evening 29 more than 50 hot air balloons will be present. There will also be some old-timer hot air balloons and several model balloons! On Saturday evening around 21:30 h a magical candlelight will be held. Pilots will light up the balloons in the dark with their powerful burners on the tones of some beautiful music. All that in combination with fireworks!
It is also possible to make your own hot air balloon flight during this happening: a unique experience!
This year we organize also helicopter flights above Waregem. The helix is a fantastic Bell 407. For the maiden flights with a balloon or with the helicopter you can book a helicopter flight from now on.
