Great Falls Balloon Festival

August 20-22, 2010

“Celebrating Maine Farms” is the theme of the 18th annual Great Falls Balloon Festival taking place August 20-22 this year. The weekend includes balloons, balloons, balloons! Weather permitting, there will be a fireworks display during the festival. Due to weather conditions, the best times for balloon launches are 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. Times may vary depending on conditions. Moon glows – hot air balloons tethered and lit up with propane – will be displayed at activity areas as weather permits. The festival benefits many local non-profit groups.
