 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.

Rain or Shine... Carolina BalloonFest is open October 21-23, 2016!
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. |
