THE MILLENNIUM JAM - 8th Edition of the European Festival for Balloon Artists
On Monday evening the emphasis shifts to the balloons with the legendary Iron Latex Man Challenge : the mother of all balloon contests! Computer whizz kid and electronics expert Dennis of Haha Entertainment has been working day and night to make an special edition soundtrack with a few surprising ........twists !

This is the jumpstart for three days of modeling competitions, a unique stage contest, incredible workshops and of course the legendary and unforgettable Balloon Fashion Show .

The modeling competitions will be in two categories: one balloon and multi balloon. Every competitor has of course free choice of balloons.

The Stage Contest has become a classic with very attractive prizes and a professional light and sound team to back you up. Also our top make-up artist Lannamaras will help to make your act impressive. And like every year, my good friend Bidou is stage director. If you have an idea and want to try it out for an audience of your peers, raise the bar for the entertainer in you and face your fears; step forward and step into the limelight! The rewards are awesome!


Classes
For the regular workshops, we have booked an incredible team of instructors from the USA, Slovenia, France, Holland, UK, Isra, Ireland and Belgium. The program will be online by April the 1st and is very varied. From the intricate fantasy flowers to the massive creations of the genius Michael Gjierek .

Something New
Just to keep you in good shape and help you to stay alert for the rest of the day, we have scheduled a daily hour of juggling initiation . This is a something new for this edition!


Balloon Fashion Show
Last but not least , we have the second edition of the Balloon Fashion Show ! The theme for this year is Venetian Carnival! An interesting challenge, I think! Again the competition will be fierce! Guido Verhoef and his A-team are again in charge of this part of the Jam. He has some really crazy ideas to decorate the stage and the room!!! Sorry, I can't say more! Just don't miss it!


Gala Night
Last but not least, we have the Closing Gala with the instructors 'doing their thing’!

Often hilarious always memorable! The MC this year is the one and only Bibo !

See you all soon!
