Pueblo Chile Balloon Fest
September 20 @ 6:30 am - September 22 @ 8:00 pm
Hot air balloons will fill the sky again this September 20th – 22nd in Pueblo CO. Each morning at 6:45 am
30 hot air balloons will begin to inflate, and then launch from the soccer fields at 24th & High St (Langoni Soccer fields). We are also celebrating the 30th year of the Pueblo Chile & Frijole Festival this year! With almost twice the number of balloons as last year, and moving to the grassy soccer fields, walk amongst the balloons as they inflate, talk with the crew, and be in bring your camera as they lift off around you. Or bring a chair, sit back and enjoy the colors. The kids are welcome to get up close and stand in awe of these gentle giants. Some of the balloons often have trading cards or stickers of their balloons to share.
Food trucks will be available to handle your caffeine fix, morning donuts or breakfast burritos. Balloon Fest T- shirts will also be available for sale commemorating this great event for Pueblo. We are so thrilled to offer the spectators the easy accessibility and beautiful grounds of the soccer fields to watch the balloons!
In addition to the 30 balloons filling the skies each morning, the Riverwalk Glow is back! The Xfinity, Pepsi and Chick-Fil-A Balloons will be inflating and “glowing” on the riverwalk lawns across from Brue’s Alehouse both Friday & Saturday evening at 7:30 pm, weather permitting. This is just outside the main gate of the Pueblo Chile & Frijole Festival.
All Balloon events are free and open to the public thanks to our amazing sponsors! Come support this unique event, so we can keep bringing it back each year, with more and more balloons!!
Find us on Facebook – Pueblo Chile Balloon Fest! The balloons need calm weather and gentle breezes to be able to fly, so all events are weather permitting.
