Gulf Coast Hot Air Balloon Festival

Apr–May
30–2

Nearly 45 balloons, pilots and crew from across the U.S. will descend upon Foley for a weekend filled with flight competitions, festival food and fun. There will be a Children’s Village, a Farmer’s Market, arts and crafts booths, helicopter rides, remote control airplanes, a NASA demonstration, as well as a variety of great food! There will be live musical entertainment throughout the weekend by various artists, and on Saturday night C.C. & The Midnight Groovers will take the stage for an exciting performance!

Please remember that ballooning is a sport dependent on near-perfect weather conditions. Weather permitting, balloons can only be seen within two hours of sunrise and two hours before sunset.

The Gulf Coast Hot Air Balloon Festival is an exciting way to spend your weekend. Join us for a day or all weekend. It’s family fun that’s sure to please – and a great treat for Dads of all ages. For more information, visit the festival website.
