INTERNATIONAL BOOGIES

8 recurring international events + 8 Italian boogies. Sorted by season. Dates kept at window-level: always verify on the hosting DZ website for the current calendar.

What a boogie is

Technically: jumps. Socially: home.

A boogie is a concentrated skydiving event — typically 3-10 days — where the DZ hosts dedicated organisers, scales aircraft capacity, and offers themed loads by level and discipline. It's the format in which sport skydiving accelerates: one boogie week does what normally takes two months.

The global scene has a handful of magnet events that shape the calendar: Summerfest (Chicago, August) for freefly and angle, Holiday Boogie (Eloy, December-January) for volume and big-way, DIPC (Dubai, December) for competition + boogie, Ekstremsportveko (Voss, June) for fjord wingsuit. Then there are dozens of smaller boogies, each with its niche.
