Our Story
The first of three hot air balloon festivals in Warren County, this one was created in 2021 for artists and crafters. Many spent time in their homes the previous year, with nothing to do but make their wares, but with no where to sell them.
This is how the Hot Air Balloons, Arts & Crafts Festival got it's start. Today we have added entertainment, food trucks, music & a car show on Sunday.
Check out the photos of what we were able to pull of.
