Hot Air Balloons

Of course, there will be big, beautiful balloons. A total of 8 hot air balloons will be on site including 2 that will be offering tethered rides for $25 per person. You won't want to miss the balloon glow that takes place as the evening grows darker.

You're encouraged to visit with the pilots and ask them questions about their balloons. Be sure and take pics and selfies to remember the event.

Tickets for the event are $60. One ticket allows admittance for one vehicle with up to six people. Click here to purchase tickets and learn more about the event.
