After the successful first edition of the Vazduharia Festival in 2011 in the Sopot, which managed to make more than 2000 people smile, to fly for the first time in their lives more than 300, to raise up in the air a whole flying band of musicians, to cause rain of falling candy and to transform flying costumes into carnival ones, this year again we invite you to gab wings, kites, paper planes and musical instruments, tents and sleeping bags, and to dash into free flight together from September 6th to 9th, 2012.
In order to show how accessibly and beautiful flying is
- to continue an annual tradition
- to give people a good reason to get out of the city and their fast daily life at least for a day
- to popularize Sopot as a destination of paragliding, sport and recreation
- to remember our childhood together with our children and to walk barefoot
- to show the coming generation the joy from playing in the open
- to learn to love, respect and protect the environment
- to really have fun
The unique festival gathers together unusual and free people, addicted to rediscovering (their) human limits in harmony with nature. They are united by their pursuit of air currents and love for the flight, for new limits and for the opportunity to enjoy with life with fellow human beings: discoverers, experimenters, or, as we call them – Flying People.
Everybody who comes with a carnival costume will have the chance to participate in the Carnival Flying and receive a 15% discount from the price of the tandem flight. In addition, there will be awards for the best costumes.
