Inflation Got You Down? Get a Lift at the
Hot Air Balloon Festival at the New Jersey
75th annual Warren County Farmers Fair

The Balloon Festival in Warren County, NJ is held annually at the Warren County Farmers' Fair. Admission is affordable at $6 per adult and $4 for children ages 5-12, children 4 & under free and parking is also free. Admission is for the Fair and Balloon Festival, so you get two events for the price of one! 2012 marks the 12th Annual NJ Balloon Festival at the Warren County Farmer's Fair. This is a big year for the Fair as it celebrates 75 years of affordable family fun. For this special occasion the Fair directors are bringing back the popular Balloon Glow. This special Balloon Glow is synchronized with music and is an awesome way to end a wonderful evening with your family or significant other. The Balloon Glow will take place on both Friday, August 3 and closing day, Saturday, August 4, 2012 at 9 pm. Airhead Invader, the big green special shape monster hot air balloon, will again invade the County Fair this year. There will also be mass hot air balloon launches each evening of the fair at 6:30 pm, weather permitting.

Hot Air Balloon Rides are available for $195.00 per person – the same price they have been for the past 11 years. Major credit cards are accepted and full refunds are given should we cancel your ride due to inclement weather.

If you are wondering how a Farmers' Fair and a Balloon Festival end up coming together, I guess you can say farm animals and ballooning go way back. Click here for a history of ballooning.
