The Lisle Eyes to the Skies Balloon Festival is a three-day Festival that includes hot air balloons, two stages of Music, a large interactive Children's Area, over 30 different food vendors, a carnival, a craft fair, fireworks every night, and many other forms of entertainment. The Festival is streteched over a beautiful sixteen-acre park and provides great food and drinks (including alcohol), which can be carried throughout the event. All proceeds generated from the Festival go to support local charities.

Parking is free with shuttle bus access from the Festival run parking lots. The price of admission includes access to both stages and just about all of the entertainment, although food, drinks, and anything purchased from vendors costs extra. However, all shows, music, and viewing the balloons is included in the gate admission. We recommend bringing cash for anything else you want to purchase at the Festival, as most of the vendors only take cash.

To learn more about the Festival, please visit our website. We hope to see you out there.

Children 8 and under are free, so tickets are only needed for children 9 and older and adults. Active military personnel and veterans can get in for free by showing their identification at the gates.

A seperate ticket is needed for attendance each day of the Festival, and all sales are final. The event can be cancelled at anytime due to inclement weather or other safety concerns, and all ticket sales are non-refundable.

You do not need a gate admission ticket to access the Carnival, but if you are interested in accessing the Carnival only, you need to approach the Festival from the gates on the West side of the Festival grounds off of Yackley Road. If you purchase your ticket here online, you can skip the lines and go straight to the gate from admission once you arrive at the Festival.

Tickets are not required to access the balloon field in the morning.
