Hudson Valley Hot-Air Balloon Festival

The 30th Annual Hudson Valley Hot-Air Balloon Festival is presented by JP Morgan Chase. We welcome hot-air balloonists from all over the country to this festival. We have scheduled 75 hot-air balloon ascensions throughout the weekend. The festival's history has evolved into a Hudson Valley tradition and has become a full weekend of activities, drawing thousands of visitors from all over the world. Some of the festival favorites are the evening Majestic Hot-Air Balloon Illumination Moon Glow, fireworks each night, tethered hot-air balloon rides, full hot-air balloon flights, helicopter rides, live music and entertainment, food trucks, family activities and more.
