Mimosas on Mainstreet

The third annual Mimosas on Mainstreet is Saturday (June 17), 9 a.m.-4 p.m., where all of North Angel Fire Drive will be closed to accommodate art, food and musicians all day.

This year the Village of Angel Fire is expecting even more vendors as this event is a great way to spend the day after early morning visits with balloon pilots. Mikuna Grill will be open and mimosas flowing just like the last two years of the big bash.

Located along the closed boulevard, Mikuna Grill is the only one that serves Peruvian - Southwest fusion cuisine and has proven itself to be an Angel Fire staple for years now.

Owner Jazmin M. famously notes: “My love for my family and the recipes that bring me back to my childhood have continued to push me to share these same experiences with my community.” — staffreport with the balloonists every morning as the crews prepare for launch. The three‐day event includes mass ascensions at 7 a.m..

More than 30 hot-air balloons inflate and float gracefully up into the cool skies of the Moreno Valley every Father’s Day weekend (this year Friday, Saturday and Sunday, June 16-18). Balloons Over Angel Fire is one of the few high-mountain hot-air balloon events in the country. Learn how the balloons work, talk to the pilots, take lots of pictures and spend Father's Day weekend enjoying the laid-back pace of Angel Fire.

Weekend festivities include three days of mass ascensions, and Saturday’s Mimosas on Mainstreet fiesta of food, music and fun on Bill Burgess Blvd. Mimosas hosts a variety of art and food vendors, as well as live music. Various pilot competitions are often scheduled as well as art and music events happening throughout Angel Fire and the Enchanted Circle over the weekend.

Balloon pilots always seek exta help for inflating, chasing and deflating the balloons each day. Be at the launch field any or all of the mornings of Mass Balloon Ascensions no later than 6:30 a.m. to volunteer assisting a pilot. In return, most pilots offer a free ride for your help! This is a great way to find out more about the sport of hot-air ballooning and have a fun time doing it. — staffreport
