Now in its 15th year, this world-renowned event combines vibrant hot air balloon displays, immersive cultural programming, and the stunning natural beauty of Taiwan's East Rift Valley. With tethered balloon rides, special-shaped balloons from around the globe, and dazzling night glow concerts, it's a must-visit for families, photographers, and adventurous travelers alike. A Decade and a Half of Aerial Wonder Since its humble launch in 2011 with just 13 balloons and a single mural balloon made from local children's art, the Taiwan International Balloon Festival has grown into a global celebration of flight and culture. It holds the distinction of being one of the longest-running hot air balloon festivals in the world, with a record-setting 66-day event in 2013. Over the years, Taitung has introduced the world's first Hello Kitty, OhBear, Mazu, and now Doraemon-shaped balloons, blending pop culture with global aviation artistry. The event also champions accessibility and innovation with custom balloons designed for passengers with disabilities, tethered rides, and collaborations with international artists and designers. 2025 Highlights: Balloons, Concerts & Drones Daily morning and afternoon balloon flights at sunrise (5:30–7:00 a.m.) and sunset (5:00–6:30 p.m.) Tethered rides available online or onsite (NT$550–650; approx.
