are permitted.
Will I see hot air balloons throughout the day? Hot Air Balloon
Flights are scheduled to launch 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. Winds & weather may seem calm
for ground dwellers while unsafe for air travelers. When weather
conditions permit, we make every best effort to showcase our
gentle giants for festival guests!
May I bring my dog or pet? No. Dogs and pets will not permitted to
enter the venue. Service dogs with uniform are the exception.
May I bring a cooler with food & drinks? Coolers, food & drinks will
not be permitted beyond the gates.
When is 2016 Carolina BalloonFest? 3rd full Weekend in October 2123, 2016 See you, next year!
What is the cost of a hot air balloon ride? $250.00 each passenger.
