2013 Carolina BalloonFest 40th Anniversary!
What a fantastic weekend!
Our Carolina BalloonFest 40th Anniversary 3-day festival was filled with many moments to remember!
Pilots, families, friends and hot air balloon enthusiasts reunited to honor and celebrate our notable pioneers who took flight more than 40 years ago - their adventurous spirit gives us the wonderous gift of sailing in the winds, today!
From 1974 to 2013 they gathered each year in our community to catch the winds and share their passion for flight with each other. Their tradition continues... National Balloon Rally Charities thanks everyone who contributed their time and support to the success of our event, Carolina BalloonFest, which enables us to continue our charitable mission!
