The annual international hot air balloon festival in central Turkey's Cappadocia is set to be held between July 21 and 24 this year, once again filling the skies with whimsical balloons.
The Göreme Festival Area in the Cappadocia region, which is on the UNESCO World Heritage list, will once again host the world's most interesting balloons with the third International Cappadocia Balloon Festival – the BalonFest'22.
The festival, which welcomes more participants every year, aims to increase the brand value of balloon tourism, while Cappadocia aims to make a greater contribution to the promotion of Turkey.

On the third day of the festival, Edis and Ozan Doğulu's DJ performance will meet audiences.
Sunrise balloon shows with unique balloons, local tasting events, Red Bull music events, Cappadocia Promotion and Development Conferences, a Vecihi Hürkuş short film screening, balloon and swing photography activities, parachuting, fog shows, exploration opportunities, laser shows and night glow performances will be presented at the festival.
