Join us for an unforgettable three-day experience at the Arizona Balloon Festival, one of the most anticipated Arizona events of the season. This family-friendly festival brings the magic of hot air balloons to life with breathtaking displays, immersive experiences, and nonstop entertainment for all ages.

Guests can get up close as colorful hot air balloons take to the skies during morning ascensions and light up the night during stunning nightly balloon glows, creating a truly unforgettable visual experience. Select sessions also offer tethered balloon rides and full balloon rides (availability varies by session).

Beyond the balloons, enjoy daily live entertainment, a Family Kids Zone, delicious eats from a variety of food trucks, and plenty of activities designed to make this a perfect destination for families, couples, and visitors of all ages.
