Chambley Festivol

ℹ️ Festival discontinued after a single edition (2025). Chambley Festivol was the musical component of the international Enenvol hot air balloon gathering, organized in 2025 at the Chambley Planet'Air aeronautical base in Hagéville, Meurthe-et-Moselle. The event only had one edition before being abandoned by its organizer.

The project: music under hot air balloons

Enenvol (which succeeded the Grand Est Mondial Air Ballons) aimed to enrich its ten days of aerostatic festivities with a public music program on the immense airfield runway, against the backdrop of hundreds of colorful hot air balloons and the nocturnal spectacle of the Night Glow.

A largely cancelled 2025 program

For this single edition (July 25 – August 3, 2025), three evenings were announced. Only the GIMS concert, on July 26, 2025, ultimately took place. The two other planned evenings — Patrick Fiori and the "80s Night" — were cancelled due to insufficient bookings.

The end of the adventure

Despite approximately 250,000 visitors, the inaugural edition resulted in a heavy deficit (estimated at nearly one million euros) and was affected by a legal dispute with Philippe Buron-Pilâtre, historical founder of the Mondial Air Ballons. The organizer (ABC company, Stéphane Bourguignon) announced the discontinuation of the event: the 2026 edition, at one point envisioned from July 24 to August 2, was cancelled and no new edition is planned.
