All festival events depend on prevailing weather conditions and are subject to delays or cancellations. Surface winds and winds aloft can vary greatly; maximum safe surface wind speeds are 8-10 mph. Although every effort is made for a successful balloon flight/glow, the safety of our pilots, volunteers, and spectators is our first priority.

In ballooning, last-minute decisions are the norm because the weather can quickly change and be indecisive.
