 Our annual Appreciation Evening was held November 21, 2013.
At this celebration we spotlight volunteers and sponsors who contribute to the success of our festival weekend(s). This is also an exciting evening for our beneficiaries as we announce and present donations, too! This year, our 40th Anniversary festival raised $60,000 to distribute among various local non-profit organizations. National Balloon Rally Charities dba Carolina BalloonFest presented $20,000 to American Cancer Society's Relay For Life of Statesville. The Boy Scouts of Amerca troops (607, 607, 335, 174 & 609), Girl Scouts Carolinas Peaks to Piedmont, Mitchell Community College BLET, Statesville Kiwanis, SCAN, NIHS Cheerleaders, Statesville Chamber of Commerce and United Way of Iredell County also accepted donations.

Rain or Shine... Carolina BalloonFest is open October 15-17, 2021!
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. 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 donates a portion of our festival proceeds to other local nonprofits and surrounding community agencies. |
