ABOUT BALLOON RIDE RESERVATIONS: We are NOT taking Balloon Ride resevations online. All flight reservations will made on the field at the BALLOON RIDE TENT (on the day of the expected flight). Rides at the Festival are very popular — Come early on a good (calm wind) day and we will make every effort to get you up. Our capacity for balloon rides has doubled for both tethered and untethered rides. However, rides are on a “First Come, First Served basis” and are very popular at our Festival — come early. Credit cards will be accepted.
