Balloons

Balloon flights and glows are weather dependent, taking place only at dusk and dawn when conditions permit.

Tethered Rides

A few hot air balloons will offer evening tethered rides to those who have paid for a ticket. The balloons are tethered to the ground and rise up 35-50ft in the air. This is a special experience for all ages! Get the chance to meet the pilot and climb inside a hot air balloon! Rides are all wind/weather dependent. Tickets are non-refundable, even due to unfavorable weather. We recommend arriving on the festival grounds two hours prior to sunset (about 5 p.m.).

If all online tethered ride tickets are SOLD OUT, we will sell additional tickets onsite at the event as long as the weather is good and time allows; the ticket booth will open after the rides have started. All pre-purchased ticket holders will be taken care of first. 

Tethered ride tickets:
Adults = $20
Children 12 & under = $15 

WE DO NOT SELL TICKETS FOR FULL BALLOON RIDES DURING THIS EVENT.
