IMPORTANT WEATHER INFORMATION
The festival is a RAIN or SHINE event. If balloons cannot inflate due to weather, our family-friendly event is packed with activities that will continue as planned. Tickets will not be refunded if hot air balloons cannot display or fly because of inclement weather. Tickets are non-refundable after October 1, 2023.
This year tickets must be purchased for the day you want to attend. If you want to attend Saturday, you must have a Saturday admission ticket. If you want to attend Sunday, you must have a Sunday admission ticket. If you want to attend both Saturday and Sunday, you must purchase both a Saturday and a Sunday ticket. If the balloons do not fly on Saturday, you must purchase a new ticket to return on Sunday. There will be no refunds due to weather.
