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.
