Organisation and volunteers
GEMAB represents the best of social, cultural and generational diversity. More than 400 volunteers and members of the organisation work together to create this 10-day festival.
A unique event in the world
More than 30 years ago, it was a gamble that should have had no tomorrow because it was designed to be unique.
Today, the Grand Est Mondial Air Ballons has become a world-renowned institution, being the largest gathering of hot air balloons in the world.
