About Hot Air Balloon Competitions
Purchase Tickets!
Picture
Rain or Shine... Carolina BalloonFest is open October 14-16, 2022!  
Hot Air Balloon Flights are scheduled twice daily; early morning & late afternoon. All ballooning activities ( including static display, tethered rides and balloon flights) and skydiving exhibition are weather-dependent.  The decision to inflate hot air balloons is made just prior to the scheduled ballooning activity.  Please note that due to the popularity of our festival, our admissions booths will close when we reach maximum capacity. This is a decision out of our control and made by local law enforcement.  Tickets are non-refundable. National Balloon Rally Charities, Inc. is a nonprofit that donates a portion of our festival proceeds to other local nonprofits and surrounding community agencies.
