PLAN YOUR TRIP TO THE FESTIVAL - ATTENDANCE IS FREE!
An Open-Air Event You Can Enjoy From A Distance
The Hot Springs Municipal Airport field where the Festival is held offers plenty of space to physically distance. You can also view the launches from your vehicle if you are a more at-risk guest who still wants to enjoy the spectacle.
PLEASE NOTE: No pets or alcohol/tobacco allowed at the Hot Springs Airport.
Balloon Rides Will Not Be Available for Purchase This Year
For 2024, hot air balloon rides will only be available for sponsors of the festival. If you or your business are interested in sponsoring the Fall River Hot Air Balloon Festival, please contact the Hot Springs Chamber of Commerce for more information. (Contact info at bottom of page)
