You don’t have to travel to a different country to tick this bucket list item off your list! Thanks to the Gharb Local Council and the Ministry for Gozo, locals and visitors to the Maltese Islands will now have the chance to fly in a hot air balloon. Say what?!

Fly to Smile will be held between 29th and 31st March in Gharb, Gozo. The three-day event will include a fascinating hot air balloon ride that will leave from the Gharb football ground. While we tried reaching out to the Gharb Local Council for more deets, they're keeping tight lipped for the mo! Still, they did tell us that this event will likely be held only once, so mark your calendars, folks! You don’t want to miss out on this one.

We can’t wait to find out more. A full programme will be out soon!
