Set against the scenic backdrop of the Bath Fairgrounds<\/strong> in Bath, New Brunswick, the River Bend Balloon Fest is a celebration of colour, community, and flight. Traditionally home to the Bath Fall Fair<\/strong> held each Labour Day weekend, these historic grounds have long been a place for neighbours to gather, celebrate, and make memories.<\/p>\n What started as a simple dream \u2014 to bring the magic of hot air balloons to our small town \u2014 has grown into a beloved event that draws visitors from across the region. Inspired by the spirit of the fall fair, a small group of local volunteers came together to create something new while honouring Bath\u2019s proud community traditions.<\/p>\n Since our first launch, the festival has grown in every way \u2014 more balloons, more vendors, more music, more magic. Today, it\u2019s a weekend filled with family fun, early morning launches, vibrant skies, and memories that last a lifetime.<\/p>\n The River Bend Balloon Fest is entirely organized by volunteers<\/strong>, including a dedicated committee of local residents who work year-round to make the festival possible. We are proud to keep this tradition alive through the generous support of our community, sponsors, and everyone who believes in the joy of shared celebration.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \ud83c\udf88 About the River Bend Balloon Fest Set against the scenic backdrop of the Bath Fairgrounds in Bath, New Brunswick, the River Bend Balloon Fest is a celebration of colour, community, and flight.
