About this event
A multi-day festival featuring air shows, hot air balloons, carnival rides, and fireworks.
What to Expect
- 1.Arrive early to grab a good viewing spot for the air shows and balloon displays; the festival runs long hours and parking can fill up at Kellogg Field.
- 2.Check the day's flight timetable on the festival map so you know when the air shows and balloon launches happen and plan your route between viewing areas and rides.
- 3.Dress for outdoor conditions with sunscreen, a hat, and comfy shoes; evenings can cool off and you’ll be walking a lot.
- 4.Bring water and snacks or plan for food truck lines—the menu is spread out, so stay hydrated and avoid long waits during peak show times.
- 5.Pack ear protection for kids and stand clear of restricted runway zones; follow staff directions during takeoffs, landings, and fireworks.
