Feedback from Festival participants
- Alexander Solomatin"Ballondog.ru" teamThis is my favorite event in the world. It's unique. There's nothing like it anywhere else in the world. And it simply needs to be preserved, cherished, loved, and improved.
After every festival, you always come away with new thoughts and ideas. That's exactly why you should participate, compete, and play. And only the Moscow Festival remains steadfast. With each passing year, it becomes stronger and more interesting, every single time. - Irina Gvozdenko"Weird people" teamI was very happy to meet my old friends again. It was a pleasure to work once more with my favorite team.
Pure delight, and nothing else. - Andrey Prokazchikov"Balloon Planet" teamWhen else will we meet, if not at such a huge, grand festival? We're all friends here, we all know each other.
- Irina Lobanova"Golden Hands" teamA festival is when a huge number of enthusiasts gather in one place and let out everything they've accumulated over the year. Because you rarely get to do something like this for clients. It's truly a calling of the soul.
- Alena Pogodina"The Fairy Tale World" teamFor me, this is the place where the soul of balloon artists gathers. Because here are all the people who love it with all their heart. The people here are the festival's most precious gems. Especially if you're a beginner just starting out. Such events elevate your level straight to lvl100.
