Leszno Balloon Week 2026 (26 - 30 August) in Poland is one of Central Europe’s most dynamic and pilot-focused ballooning events. For one intense weekend, Leszno becomes a true meeting point for competition pilots, junior talents and crews who share a passion for precise flying and a great atmosphere.

The event combines three major competitions: 35th ENEA Leszno Balloon Cup, 14th Polish Junior Balloon Championship, and Pre-World Junior Hot Air Balloon Championship. Expect well-designed tasks, fair sport, experienced officials and a competitive international field. Open terrain, accessible launch sites and late-summer weather create excellent tactical conditions for ambitious flying.

Based at the Leszno Airport, the organisation provides professional logistics, efficient briefings and a welcoming aviation environment. Leszno is known for being pilot-friendly, thanks to supportive landowners and a community that truly understands ballooning.

The sporting highlight culminates in the spectacular Leszno Balloon Night - a mass glow featuring over 100 balloons, music and aviation elements, creating an unforgettable atmosphere. Whether you aim to compete at the highest level, prepare for international championships or simply enjoy outstanding flying - Leszno is the place to be. Join us in the sky!
