50 Years of Balloons in Colorado Springs | Colorado Springs News

Celebrate 50 years of the Labor Day Lift Off in Colorado Springs with one of the state’s biggest hot air balloon festivals—perfectly timed for Colorado’s 150th and America’s 250th anniversaries. Kick off Saturday at 5:15 AM with park access, then witness the main balloon launch at 7 AM. Enjoy remote control balloons, USAFA skydivers, and a dazzling evening glow show with drones and fireworks. Sunday mirrors the action, and Monday ends with a final balloon lift-off before closing at 10 AM. All events are free, but upgrade with VIP lounges, elevated seating, or even ride-along balloon tours. Free bike valet and online parking help keep things stress-free. It’s a sky-high weekend packed with family fun, aerial magic, and historic celebration. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
