The story

Torres Ballooning Festival in Torres

Torres Ballooning Festival fills the skies above the beach town of Torres, on Rio Grande do Sul's northern coast, with hot air balloons each April or May, taking advantage of calm autumn mornings. Public documentation is limited beyond municipal listings, so exact dates and program details should be confirmed locally. Expect early dawn launches against a coastal backdrop rather than a large festival infrastructure.

Torres Ballooning Festival, known locally as the Festival Internacional de Balonismo de Torres, brings hot air balloons to the skies above Torres, a beach town on the northern coast of Rio Grande do Sul near the border with Santa Catarina.

The event's modest scale keeps it feeling like a local happening rather than a mass-tourism spectacle
