- Hot air balloons only fly the first two hours after sunrise and the last two hours before sunset as winds are less stable during the middle of the day. Unstable/unpredictable winds can be so dangerous as to be deadly in a hot air balloon. If you have your heart set on flying during the middle of the day, we recommend you look into some other form of heavier-than-air type of flying. You won't see balloons in flight or standing during the middle of the day during Freedom Balloon Fest. This is for the safety of the pilots, crew, and for the safety of their equipment - and for spectator safety. If weather is appropriate, we plan to have a retired balloon displayed on its side and "cold inflated" to give spectators and idea of the size of these gentle giants of ballooning.

Be sure to read the festival's Passenger Release & Waiver of Liability. It includes important general safety information about hot air balloons. All passengers must check in at the Waiver Tent at the Festival Grounds, read and sign a Passenger Release & Waiver.
