All National Balloon Classic events depend on prevailing weather conditions and are subject to delays or cancellations. Every effort is made to ensure a successful balloon flight; the safety of our pilots, crew, and guests is our top priority. Last-minute decisions are the norm in ballooning; winds aloft can quickly change. Taking a “wait and see” approach may result in arriving too late and missing a beautiful night of balloon gazing and phenomenal entertainment.
