Snowmass Balloon Festival

The iconic Snowmass Balloon Festival returns for its 49th year! The long-standing Rocky Mountain tradition features 30+ festive balloons launching into the air from 7:00 a.m. – 9:00 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday, and the return of the popular Night Glow on Friday evening. Balloons will still launch for the Memorial Rat Race on Friday morning, but the Balloon Festival grounds will be closed to the public.

After you’ve seen the balloons in all their beauty, stroll the Snowmass Mall or Base Village to enjoy breakfast or brunch.
