During the annual Fall River Hot Air Balloon Festival, tens of hot air balloons inflate and soar into the sky as the sun rises, dotting the sky with a plethora of different colors. Below it all, rows and rows of spectators watch the event unfold.
“Watching all those balloons go up is pretty magical, and it’s a fun-filled weekend with lots to offer the whole family,” said Hot Springs Chamber of Commerce executive director Olivia
Mears. “It’s extremely affordable as the festival is essentially free.”
To view the event, patrons are advised to bring a lawn chair or blanket to rest on and arrive early.
This year, the event will take place August 25-27. Throughout the weekend, check out food trucks, vendors, and more in Hot Springs. And don’t miss the Glow Around Town on Saturday night.
