Rain or Shine... Carolina BalloonFest is open October 19-21, 2018! 

 

Our Rich Aviation History

Our event spans over decades of the area's rich aviation history! Each year, pilots arrive with their hot air balloons to delight and amaze tens of thousands of spectators with a full weekend of mass ascensions, sanctioned competitions, tethered rides & hot air balloon flights. Our traditional Saturday evening balloon glow is a spectacular feature of Carolina BalloonFest! Our festival offers live entertainment, tastes of NC wines & craft beers, fine artisan crafts, kids zone, exhibits, activities and great festival food!

 

Hot Air Balloon Flights are scheduled twice daily; early morning & late afternoon. All ballooning activities including static display, tethered rides and balloon flights are weather-dependent.  The decision to inflate hot air balloons is made just prior to the scheduled ballooning activity.  

 

Due to limited entrance points into our festival,  on Saturday, guests are encouraged to PARK by 1 PM to attend late afternoon launches. Saturday is our most popular festival day and the admissions booths will close when we reach maximum capacity. Tickets are non-refundable.

 

Festival Location is near Statesville Regional Airport at 260 Hangar Drive, Statesville, NC 28677. ​Parking will be available on site and at park and ride. NO ROADSIDE PARKING - vehicles will be towed where NO PARKING signs are posted
