All events are weather permitting. If there is no wind, several balloons will tether in Town Park for tethered rides for all in attendance.

A local youth group will be selling coffee, hot chocolate, and baked goods as a fundraiser. All are asked to support these kids’ efforts.

Anyone wishing to “get a ride on a balloon” should see Marilyn (in fuschia jacket at the basketball court) and volunteer as local crew…this is the only way you might get a ride.  Please note that sponsors of balloons have first opportunity to ride.

Posters will be available for sale….at the balloon field in Town Park on Saturday and Sunday morning.

Many thanks to the generous friends and sponsors who make the Telluride Balloon Festival possible.
