How much are balloon rides?
Prices for 2025 Balloon Rides will be announced when the pilots information becomes available.
How do I book a balloon ride?
Rides are booked directly with the participating pilots that will be announced at a later date.
Does a balloon ride count as an admission ticket to the festival?
No. Balloon rides are a separate fee from entry into the festival. With that said, a festival entry ticket and a balloon ride are separate purchases.
When do balloon flights take place?
Hot Air Balloon Flights are scheduled twice daily; early morning & late afternoon.
Are there still balloon rides if it rains?
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.
