Surely, each of us, seeing a balloon in the sky, would be frozen with astonishment and delight. Such a spectacle in Russia can be observed every year in the middle of August , when the famous "Sky of Russia" festival is taking place. In the hot summer for a whole week, you can observe a lot of colorful "pot-bellied" balloons that rise up and soar in the open air spaces of our homeland.
Such a colorful and romantic festival of open skies of Russia can admire the inhabitants and guests of such cities as Sverdlovsk, Kungur, Velikiye Luki, Belgorod, Ryazan, Tyumen and Dmitrov. More details about holding such events, we'll tell you now.
How is the festival "Open Skies of Russia"?
Initially, the entire period from the end of the summer to the onset of cold weather, competitions are held on aeronautics on balloons. The appearance of the amazing festival "The Open Skies of Russia" is associated with an ancient history. About 250 years ago, a peasant made a small ball and filled it with marsh gas, after which he calmly took off.
Since then, the festival "Sky of Russia" is often held in Ryazan. As a rule, the whole event is divided into a sports part and, so-called, a siesta. In the first half of the day the pilots go "on takeoff", previously filling with cold air and then heating 120 kilograms shells. This is exactly the moment in the festival "The Sky of Russia" when you can see with your own eyes how they are assembling a huge ball higher than the high-rise building.
Then all the balloons are sent to perform their sporting tasks at the same time. When the competition is over, with the arrival of the night, the most touching, romantic and bright moment of the festival "Open Skies of Russia" comes - all balloons line up in one line without taking off. Bright glowing cloths against the background of the night sky collect a large number of spectators. Even many drivers stop to admire the night glow, arranging real parking on the road.
