Plano Balloon Festival....Up, Up & Away!

Plano Balloon Festival....Up, Up & Away!

For family fun it's hard to beat the annual Plano Balloon Festival, one of the city’s largest celebrations for children and families - complete with fireworks, balloon rides, fun and excitement.

As the largest balloon event in Texas, the Plano Balloon Festival has also evolved into an important fundraiser for local non-profit organizations, with 42 non-profit and corporate.

Specific festival events vary from year to year but typically include five hot air balloon launches, a large Kids Fun Zone, two stages showcasing local community talent, live bands, sky divers, fireworks, food and nighttime balloon glows. A balloon glow occurs after dusk when the many balloon pilots conduct synchronized firings of their balloon’s burners.

This year is the 32nd year for the Plano Balloon Festival, and is expected to attract over 90,000 people during the three day weekend.
