Organisers have promised do "everything they can" to get the balloons in the air during the final day of the Burnley balloon festival.
Hundreds of people attended the event at Townley Park on Saturday, but strong winds meant none of the hot air balloons were able to fly.
Although winds were light on Sunday morning, strong, gusts have been forecast for later in the evening.
Organisers say the showground still has lots of other entertainment.
Despite the setback on Saturday, crowds were still entertained by other events, such as motorcycle stunt riders.
"We don't need much wind to cause us a problem - anything above eight knots and these things start thrashing about all over the place," said spokesman Barry Clayson.
"There's loads to do on the showground as well, there's plenty of other things to see - we've got motorcycles that can come out in the rain, stunt drivers and things
"But really people want to see the balloons so we do everything we possibly can to get these balloons in the air."
Speaking on Sunday morning, Mr Clayson said the weather looked "a bit miserable" but no too windy.
The event takes place at the town's park from 1000 BST.
