No Reservations Required. FLIGHT is the creative theme of the day! Hot air balloons, kites, airplanes, airships and more... The Scrap Exchange will host and incite a creative environment with materials to encourage the children to take delight in their own creative aeronautic artwork; they may venture outside the theme, of course!
​
Participants have limitless opportunity to create original projects to take home with them. Everyone can create as space & seating is available inside the Artists Tent.

The Scrap Exchange will bring materials and facilitate free creativity and play for participants. Children have the opportunity to construct, explore, and use their imagination as they interact with the materials and each other... lots of fun!

Rain or Shine... Carolina BalloonFest is open October 19-21, 2018!  
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,  on Saturday, guests are encouraged to PARK by 1 PM to attend late afternoon launches. Saturday is our most popular festival day and the admissions booths will close when we reach maximum capacity. Tickets are non-refundable.
