Please note that all scheduled events — especially balloon launches — are weather dependent and may be subject to change for safety reasons. We do our best to stick to the planned timeline, but wind and weather have the final say when it comes to hot air balloons. It takes time to get balloons up into the air; look to the skies about half an hour after each launch!
We’ll keep you updated throughout the festival on any schedule changes via Facebook and on-site announcements. Thank you for your understanding and for helping us keep the skies safe and fun!
