PLAN YOUR TRIP TO THE FESTIVAL - ATTENDANCE IS FREE!
An Open-Air Event You Can Enjoy From A Distance
The Hot Springs Municipal Airport field where the Festival is held offers plenty of space to physically distance. You can also view the launches from your vehicle if you are a more at-risk guest who still wants to enjoy the spectacle.
PLEASE NOTE: No pets or alcohol/tobacco allowed at the Hot Springs Airport.
Schedule a Balloon Ride
Balloon Rides for the 2024 Festival are not on sale at this time.
Reserve Your Room
The festival starts early, so plan to stay overnight in one of Hot Springs’ affordably unique lodging options.
Whether you’re staying at traditional hotel/motel accommodations or a campground, B&B or cabin, you can be rested and ready to experience the Fall River Hot Air Balloon Festival bright and early.
Southern
Black Hills
Hot Springs is the home base for trips to the Southern Black Hills. See the remnants of ancient mammoths, feel the thunder of wild bison, explore historic landmarks, and soak in naturally warm mineral spring water.
