The goal of this years festival is to provide entertainment and enjoyment to our visitors, and share our profits with local charities. Over the years an average of over 35,000 spectators per year visit our great valley to enjoy the festival.
The success of pasts festivals made it possible to share profits with local charities and organizations.
The beauty of an early morning balloon flight is breathtaking as balloons gracefully float over our great valley. The thrill of a mass evening launch is a real crowd pleaser. For those passengers taking their first flight, wonderful thoughts and memories will long endure for sure.
Though we are one of the largest events of its type, The New York Festival of Balloons, is a great deal more than just hot air balloons. Take a look at our SCHEDULE OF EVENTS for this coming Labor Day Weekend and you will agree that there is something for everyone all weekend long at the N.Y.S.F.O.B.
