One special weekend every summer, the morning skies above Bend come alive with the entrancing rainbow colors of hot air balloons. After cancelling in 2020, we are excited to bring back this whimsical display! This will be a weekend to remember with balloon launches each day at dawn; watch the magic happen as support crews do their part to help the balloons rise into the sky to greet the morning sun. Head down to the Night Glow for an evening of music, food and glow-in-thedark balloons. Take the kids to the Balloon Blast race for a chance to stack up some points in our Kid’s Rock the Races series!
