Umbria Balloon Festival - Todi stop
Hot air balloons color the sky of Todi
About Umbria Balloon Festival
Hot air balloons arrive in Todi
The Umbria Balloon Festival is the first edition of a large, widespread festival dedicated to hot air ballooning, which from April 25 to September 20, 2026, travels through fourteen municipalities in Umbria. Among these, Todi stands out, a jewel in the province of Perugia overlooking the middle Tiber Valley, which hosts one of the most anticipated stops.
Free flights and spectacle in the Umbrian sky
The festival offers three types of experiences: free flights where enthusiasts arrive with their own balloons and citizens and tourists can experience the thrill of flying in a hot air balloon; tethered flights in locations where free flight is not permitted; and night music shows with illuminated balloons. In Todi, the main stop is concentrated between July 31 and August 2.
The Consolazione event
A symbolic moment is scheduled for September 8th, coinciding with the Festa della Consolazione: a tethered flight near the Renaissance Tempio della Consolazione, one of Todi's most beloved monuments, offers a unique backdrop to the event.
An event for all of Umbria
Promoted by Bil Benefit with the support of the Umbria Region and the Provinces of Perugia and Terni, the Umbria Balloon Festival integrates with the food, wine, and cultural excellences of each stop, in a widespread calendar that invites you to look at the sky with your nose up.
