The three-day festival will offer balloon rides, food, beer, wine and performances by Brad Paisley, REO Speedwagon, Scotty McCreery and more.
The festival will also offer tethered balloon rides, anchored to the ground with special ropes that only allow it to rise to about 50–75 feet and hover briefly with its passengers then slowly descend. Check-in for tethered balloon rides begins at 6 a.m., and balloons float up at 7 a.m. for approximately two hours. Tickets are $20, and early arrival is highly recommended as these tethered rides tend to sell out quickly. Spectators are invited to watch the balloons take off at 6-8 a.m.
