Celebrate 45 Years of Magic at the Quechee Hot Air Balloon Festival

HARTFORD, Vt. — This weekend marks the 45th annual Quechee Hot Air Balloon Festival, a breathtaking event set to fill the skies with color and excitement. Kicking off on Friday at Quechee Green Park, the festival will see its first balloon launch at 6 p.m., followed by further ascents at 6 a.m. each day through Sunday, with balloons delighting spectators until 6 p.m. When the sun goes down, attendees can enjoy the enchanting spectacle of the balloons glowing in the dark.

According to Havah Armstrong Walther, Executive Director of the Hartford Area Chamber of Commerce, the festival holds a special place in the hearts of local residents. "This is a hometown festival," she remarked. "What makes it really special is this for the community." While many visitors will arrive from across New England, the event is fundamentally a celebration for the Upper Valley.

Unfortunately, all balloon rides for this year’s festival have sold out. However, tickets for those wishing to enjoy the view from the ground are still available. As usual, balloon rides will be subject to weather conditions, and those who purchased rides will be refunded if cancellations occur due to unfavorable weather.

As the community prepares to celebrate this milestone, the Quechee Hot Air Balloon Festival promises to be a blend of tradition, beauty, and local pride. Whether you’re a long-time festivalgoer or experiencing its magic for the first time, the skies over Quechee are set to be a vibrant canvas this weekend. Don’t miss this unique celebration!
