Pilot Meet & Greet

Picture
Join us on the launch field Saturday & Sunday afternoons from 2-3 PM for our Pilot Meet & Greet!

This is an open and optional activity for participating balloonists that opt to come out to the field, set up their basket and talk about Hot Air Ballooning with our festival guests.

This is a great time to ask if a participating ride pilot has an flight opening!

Rain or Shine... Save the date Carolina BalloonFest is October 18, 19, 20 of 2024!  
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.
