Hot Air Balloon Rodeo

Hot Air Balloon Rodeo

Look to the sky as 20+ balloons dot the horizon with color Saturday and Sunday morning. There will be no spectators allowed at the launch site this year. Instead, head over to the Ski Town Ballfields for the public viewing area with tethered balloons, food and merchant vendors, and family fun.

On Saturday, the fun doesn't stop when the sun goes down. Spectators will have the opportunity to walk among the tethered balloons and take photos of this beautiful display. Enjoy live music, beer garden, food, vendors, and fun for the whole family. 

Stay tuned for the location of this year's Balloon Glow.
