Rain or Shine... Carolina BalloonFest is open October 18-20, 2019!
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. Please note that due to the popularity of our festival, Saturday is our most popular festival day and the 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 donates a portion of our festival proceeds to other local nonprofits and surrounding community agencies.

Bring the family and discover the beauty of hot air balloons. Enjoy live entertainment, NC wine & craft beer, great festival food, kid's fun zone with inflatables and various activities throughout the day. Hot Air Balloon Flights are scheduled twice daily; early morning and late afternoon.
