Adirondack Balloon Festival

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's hot air balloons! Watch all kinds of hot air balloons fill up the sky at Floyd Bennett Memorial Airport. For 51 years the Adirondack Balloon Festival has been admired by thousands of people. Each year professional balloonists and adventures get to experience this event with different hot air balloons. Watch the vibrant colors and shapes of the balloons float over the Adirondack Mountains. Enjoy the musical performances, craft and food vendors, kids activities, bounces houses, and more! Plan accordingly because this event starts early in the morning and parking fills up quickly. This event changes weather permitting. Please note: no dogs, no smoking, no drones or remote-control aircrafts are allowed.
