31st Annual Hudson Valley Hot-Air Balloon Festival

Bring your blankets and chairs to watch hot-air balloons ascend from the designated picnic area. Watch in awe as hot-air balloons fill the skies and as they light the night with an illumination moon glow with fireworks on full display. Reservations can be made on a per person basis for a donation of $15.00* for evenings and $8.00* for mornings. A reservation must be made in advance as donations will not be accepted at the gate. Donation is non-refundable and non-transferable. As always, balloon inflations are at the sole discretion of the pilot, and is dependent on ideal wind and weather conditions. Hot-air balloons may not inflate or fly - especially if the wind and weather is not safe for ballooning. There will be 100 planned launches throughout the weekend, fireworks each night, full hot-air balloon flights, tethered hot-air balloon rides and evening hot-air balloon illumination moon glows. We will also offer helicopter rides, live music and entertainment, family activities, food trucks, vendors, a trackless train ride...and more.
