The event was originally scheduled for Saturday, March 2, but was postponed due to weather reasons. Therefore, if there is no favorable forecast, it may be rescheduled again for Saturdays or Sundays of the remainder of March (April 24, 29, 30, 31 or 1).
Patricio Gatto, producer of the event, told Time: «LThe idea is to bring the hot air balloon activity closer to the people on a massive scale. Not everyone has the opportunity to fly due to costs, motivation, and time, and this is a chance to integrate and have the world of hot air balloons in sight and in the palm of your hands. Although you don’t get on it, you don’t fly, you enjoy the show 100%. It is a multi-experience because there is live music, hot air balloons, paramotors, which are these motorized paragliders that are making drawings in the air and movements. Artists will play violinists, sopranos or other instruments from the balloons and there will be aerial acrobatics and an exhibition of vintage cars.
The producer says that they will begin a tour that will continue in San Luis, San Juan, Salta, Tucumán and to the south.
