Fly in a hot air balloon at the festival during one of our majestic mass ascensions!
Book a hot air balloon flight ride with us to fly in a balloon during one of the mass ascensions across the Chester County, PA sky, morning or at night! Not Flying? You don’t have to be hot air ballooning to have fun from the ground! — Explore the festival
Jump in and fly away among a colorful array of balloons of all shapes and sizes as you drift over Chester County countryside.
The hot air balloon experience is described as a top “bucket list” activity. Feel the exhilaration as you defy gravity, safe within the balloon basket manned by our balloon crew. Elating and memorable, not to mention photogenic!
During the flight, you’ll be experiencing grand views of farmland, flying over Coatesville, Downingtown, and Exton. You’ll then be brought back to the festival grounds where you can enjoy food and fun.
Your feet won’t even feel like they left the ground!
