Hot air balloon fiesta

See a Smurf floating in our Malaysian sky! Yes, you read right! You and your family can look forward to the many colourful hot air balloons that will be on display at the Putrajaya International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta. Read on to know what special attractions adds to the excitement this year.

Hot air balloons in the sky at Putrajaya International Hot Air Balloon FiestaImagine watching several colourful shapes decorate our Malaysian sky. Lying on the grass with your family and enjoy the shapes move by above you. Some are round, but some take the shape of popular cartoon characters and animals. Hot air balloons are such a beautiful marvel to admire – and the kids love it!

On top of seeing the magical shapes floating on the sky, we can experience what it feels like to float  in a hot air balloon along with taking part in various fun and exciting activities.

The 5th Putrajaya International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta 2013 returns to its Monumen Alaf Baru (also known as the Millennium Monument) grounds in Putrajaya, from 28th – 31st March 2013. The thriving government capital will be converted to a major tourist and visitor attraction site over a four-day period balloon fiesta!

Check out what the Putrajaya International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta as in stall this year:

What the event is all about?

The heart of the event

About 20 Balloons by top balloonists around the globe will be present showcasing their special shaped balloons of various sizes. Don’t miss the Smurf Balloon, piloted by Koen Audenaert of Belgium or the ‘Clown’ Balloon’ by balloonist Sven Grenzner of Germany among many others.

Night glow event

The “night glow” event, where the hot air balloons will participate in a light and sound show on 30th March at 9 PM, culminating into a beautiful fireworks display, is highly anticipated.

Para Motor Pilots

The Para Motor Pilots will demonstrate their powered paragliding skills at 9am and 4:30pm daily. Enjoy stunts and aerobatic performances. The safest form of powered human aviation would be a treat for the eyes.

Being an outdoor event, most of the scheduling is subject to weather conditions.

Most awaited events

Tethered hot air balloon ride

Featuring a whole new experience where visitors can actually go inside an anchored balloon at just RM 20 per person for a 5-7 min ride. Though the balloon is anchored to the ground, it hovers with its passengers and then slowly descends. You get the experience of seeing the burners ignite and being lifted into the air up to 50-80 ft. high.

Be early to collect tickets as these are limited to 300 passengers per session on a first-come, first-serve basis. Counters open at 7am (for the morning session) and 5pm (for the evening session). Minimum height for passengers is 4 feet.
