Celebrate 35 Years of Balloon Magic ✨

Plan now to experience one of Boise’s most beloved traditions September 2-6 at the Spirit of Boise Balloon Classic. The event celebrates its 35th anniversary at Ann Morrison Park over Labor Day weekend, as dozens of colorful hot air balloons rise into the sky each morning. The daily launches create a breathtaking spectacle for visitors of all ages and families can enjoy special themed events throughout the festival. Wednesday is Kids’ Day where children can learn about how the balloons work and take a free tethered ride. Friday evening’s popular Nite Glow Spectacular features illuminated balloons, live entertainment, food vendors, and a festive community atmosphere. Whether you’re an early riser eager to catch the sunrise launches or looking for an unforgettable evening show, the Spirit of Boise Balloon Classic is a must-see event.
