The event will take place next September.
If you’re with us, you’ll probably remember the times we talked about International Hot Air Balloon Festival (FIBAQ), which has filled the Alentejo sky with color over the years. But in 2022, there is something new.
This year, the 25th edition of FIBAQ begins in Oeiras, the first ever.
On September 24, a Quinta de Sima From Palace of the Marquis of Pombal This event is received for the first time. The festival promises to provide visitors with a day full of unique activities, and Night Glow, will feature a nighttime spectacle of light, color and sound, with the tongues of colorful balloons shooting to the beat of the music. The event is free and open to the public.
For those who do not miss a good adventure, the municipality of Oeiras offers the opportunity to make a free captive flight baptism, and the ability to watch the Night Glow show from above.
To perform a captive flight baptism, visitors must go to the festival site, where they will be received by the organization, in order of their arrival, and taken to the concerned airship. The trip, which will allow you to take a 360-degree look at the Quinta de Cima in the Marquês de Pombal Palace and its gardens, is open to all ages and free of charge.
However, it should be noted that flights are limited to places available, and flights and night view are subject to daytime weather conditions.
