Up, up, and away! You’re invited to watch the skies come alive at Flying Circus’ Hot Air Balloon Festival & Airshow — the biggest weekend of the year at this one-of-a-kind vintage airfield!
Hosted September 19-20, 2026, this special two-day event combines colorful hot air balloons with the excitement of an old-fashioned flying circus.
Each day features a morning hot air balloon launch, an afternoon airshow, and an evening balloon launch — multiple chances to catch the magic! Weather permitting, tethered and free-flight balloon rides will be available, along with open-cockpit biplane rides.
Important! Arrive early — this popular event draws a crowd and a long car line. Be sure to check out the festival’s Frequently Asked Questions to ensure a successful day. Since this special event depends on clear weather, check the Flying Circus Facebook page for updates before you go.
