The 52nd Irish Hot Air Ballooning Championships will be held in Tullamore, Co. Offaly from September 21st to 27th, with flights over the town of Tullamore throughout the week, dependent on weather conditions.
Flights are scheduled for both mornings and evenings, with specific launch times aiming for approximately 07:30 for morning flights and 17:30 for evening flights, subject to weather variations.
Pilots participate in briefings with the Championships Director before each flight to determine if conditions are suitable for flying, with updates posted on the official Irish Hot Air Ballooning Championships Facebook page.
The public is invited to witness the balloons launching as a spectacle in the skies over Tullamore, but flights for the public are not available during the event due to weather dependency and safety considerations.
