35 years of high-flying fun! BalloonFest promises to be an outing with the entire family in mind. Everyone will enjoy the colorful Ashland skies as the hot air balloons fill the air for this memorable weekend. Delight yourself in the festivities! Each year you attend, you will have a new experience to treasure for years to come. Entertainment, music, shows, and an assortment of food vending are all part of the nonstop activities.
