Snowmass Balloon Festival — Sept. 22-24
The Snowmass Balloon Festival celebrates its 48th anniversary in 2023. The long-standing Rocky Mountain tradition features three days of 30+ festive balloons launching into the air from 7:30-9 a.m. amidst the sunrise and the stunning background of Snowmass in the fall. There will be no balloon glow in the evening this year. Parking will be limited in the paved parking of Town Park, and there is no parking in the dirt area/rodeo grounds. When Town Park fills, people will be directed to the Brush Creek Park and Ride. Festival goers should plan to take the bus to Town Park.
For those who want to watch the festival, Snowmass Tourism recommends going to the launch field at Snowmass Town Park for an up-close view as pilots prepare and launch their balloons. Dogs are not permitted on the launch field. gosnowmass.com/event/snowmass-balloon-festival
