Stoweflake Hot Air Balloon Festival, one of summer's best sights


Kicking off Friday July 10th, is one of Vermont’s most popular summer events, the 23rd annual Stoweflake Hot Air Balloon Festival. The celebration starts at 4pm on Friday at the Stoweflake Mountain Resort & Spa and continues Saturday July 11th and Sunday July 12th.

Watch as 25 hot air balloons take to the sky while enjoying live entertainment, food, and a beer and wine garden. Specifically for the kids there will be activities and games to keep them entertained. There will be a twilight launch Friday and Saturday at 6:30pm with sunrise launches at 6:30am on Saturday and Sunday. While the morning launches are free, admission to the event to enjoy the music and food is $8 per person. Kids under 12 get in for free.

If you want to venture up in a balloon you have two choices, sign up early for a ride through the beautiful Vermont skies for $275 per person or join the crowds at the event for a $10 tethered lift. Both promise spectacular sites of the Stowe landscape. For balloon ride reservations, call 802-253-7355.

Make a plan to stop by the event or pick a spot in Stowe to watch as the balloons take flight. It’s quite a beautiful site to see so many colorful hot air balloons against the mountains.
