Event

From balloon artists, for balloon artists.

Nozzle Up is the balloon convention by Sempertex Europe. On 1, 2 and 3 October 2027 the Van der Valk Hotel Eindhoven turns into an enchanted forest, with eight world class teachers, hands on activities and plenty of space to meet your people. This is where Europe's balloon community comes together.
