To show thanks, non-profit members who volunteered with the organization during the event(s) are awarded at the Annual Volunteer and Sponsor Celebration, totaling to over $100,000 in donations. A big thank you goes out to the volunteers, sponsors, partners, pilots and balloon enthusiasts who make the Carolina BalloonFest possible each year.

Rain or Shine... Carolina BalloonFest is open October 20-22, 2017!
Hot Air Balloon Flights are scheduled twice daily; early morning & late afternoon. All ballooning activities including static display, tethered rides and balloon flights are weather dependent. The decision to inflate hot air balloons is made just prior to the scheduled ballooning activity. Due to limited entrance points into our festival, guests are encouraged to purchase advance tickets and plan to PARK by 1 PM to attend late afternoon launches. Tickets are non-refundable. |
