Boise Balloon Classic Takes Flight | Boise News

Hot air balloons are set to fill the skies over Ann Morrison Park starting Wednesday, with tethered rides for kids and full flights beginning Thursday at 7:20 AM—weather permitting. Pilot Cooper Dill, who’s flown since age 17 and chose Boise State partly for this event, is back with his eye-catching “Kaleidoscope” balloon, which glows like a sky-sailing kaleidoscope. He credits the community for guiding him and says what makes this festival special is the city-wide celebration—families like Noemi Gonzales’s return yearly, making it a cherished tradition. Drivers, especially near Americana Blvd, Capitol Blvd, and Crescent Rim Drive, should watch for pedestrians and cyclists as crowds gather.
