Come ogni anno, nel weekend dell'Epifania, Mondovì diventa lo scenario per il Raduno Aerostatico Internazionale dell’Epifania.
Grazie alle favorevoli condizioni, l'area monregalese è tra le migliori al mondo per il volo in mongolfiera e i palloni aerostatici sono presenti spesso nei cieli della città, tanto da esserne diventati il simbolo. A testimonianza di questo affetto anche il Comune possiede una sua mongolfiera istituzionale da sfoggiare nella manifestazione.
Il Raduno Aerostatico Internazionale dell’Epifania è nato nel 1988 e, grazie all'organizzazione dell’Aeroclub Mongolfiere di Mondovì, è il raduno più longevo in Italia.
Sono trenta, quest'anno, gli equipaggi provenienti da tutto il mondo che in questi giorni colorano i cieli della città.
Tra le tante variopinte mongolfiere anche in questa edizione ce ne sono alcune di forma speciale come: il Koala Adelaide proveniente dal Regno Unito, il Pinguino Tall Steve, di 35 metri, Rhino, il rinoceronte belga e lo spettacolare Van Gogh, un pallone areostatico olandese alto 30 metriche riproduce la testa del celebre pittore fiammingo.
Altra attrazione della manifestazione è il dirigibile ad aria calda più grande del mondo; lungo quasi 50 metri ed alto quanto un palazzo di 5 piani sorvolerà anch'esso i cieli la città.
L'evento è aperto a tutti. L'area di decollo è, come sempre, l’area verde di Parco Europa, da dove, due volte al giorno è possibile vedere gonfiare e partire le mongolfiere.
E dopo la partenza tutti col naso all'insù ad ammirare questo spettacolo unico che colora lo skyline monregalese.

32° International Aerostatic Gathering of Epiphany - Mondovì
As every year, on the Epiphany weekend, Mondovì becomes the setting for the Epiphany International Balloon Meeting.
Thanks to the favorable conditions, the Monregalese area is among the best in the world for the flight in a hot air balloon and the balloons are often present in its skies, so much so as to have become its symbol.
As evidence of this affection, the Municipality also has its own institutional hot air balloon to show off in the event.
The Epiphany International Balloon Meeting was born in 1988 and, thanks to the organization of the Mondovì Hot Air Balloon Club, is the longest-running rally in Italy.
Thirty crews from all over the world are coloring the skies of the city in these days.
Among the many colorful hot air balloons also in this edition there are someone with special shape such as: the Koala Adelaide from the United Kingdom, the 35-meter Tall Steve Penguin, Rhino, the Belgian rhino and the spectacular Van Gogh, a Dutch aerostatic balloon 30 meters high that reproduces the head of the famous Flemish painter.
Another attraction of the event is the largest hot airship in the world; almost 50 meters long and as high as a 5-storey building, it also flyes over the city.
The event is open to everyone. The take-off area is, as always, the green area of Parco Europa, from where, twice a day, it is possible to see the balloons inflate and leave.
And after the start everyone with the nose up to admire this unique show that colors the Monregalese skyline.
