2014 Great Falls Balloon Festival

August 15, 16 and 17

This year's theme is "Swashbucklin' in the Sky!"  The Great Falls Balloon Festival is a weekend-long celebration featuring hot air balloons, food and entertainment.  Balloon launches are scheduled for 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. daily, weather permitting. When the balloons aren’t overhead, there is still plenty to do: dozens of food booths offer everything from lime rickeys to taco salad, pancake breakfast follow the morning launches, craft and trade booths invite browsing, a children’s area with games, a bounce house and face painting and live entertainment on two stages. Carnival rides, a parade and various demonstrations and contests round out the weekend’s events...more info.
