You seek adventure and crave first-rate entertainment. You desire a destination that fills your bucket list and your photo gallery: an unspoiled, out-of-the-ordinary place where the whoosh of a hot air balloon is felt and heard, where marvelous moments are waiting, and they whisper to you, take me away. And you go.

We are the soul of Iowa, where more than 85,000 guests choose to spend time with us every summer. A 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization, our event is over the top, but our community-minded mission has been firmly grounded for over 50 years.
