44th Annual Quechee Hot Air Balloon Craft & Music Festival

Yes, you can purchase balloon rides that will last 45-60 minutes, for $350.00 whether allowing. You can also purchase a tethered balloon rise for $25.00 where you stay much closer to the ground and connected by a rope. Purchase tickets on this site.

Parking is limited so carpooling is best if you are arriving in a group. A detailed map of approved parking will be emailed in June.

Unfortunately, pets are not permitted at the balloon festival. If you partner with a registered service animal, please call the HACC office to make arrangements. 802-295-7900.

Yes, you can buy admission tickets at the gate. However, buying tickets online should make for shorter lines at the entrance.

Yes, IF there are any reservations remaining on the day of the flights, you may purchase them at the Balloon Ticket Booth.

Flights are refunded if the balloonists cannot fly during your reservation period. We will do our best to reschedule your flight for another time during this year's festival, but cannot guarantee availability during other sessions.

Weekend Admission Tickets are NOT refundable. They do entitle you to attend any time during the festival and come and go as you like.

Yes and No. Children who need to be held (babies) are not permitted because safe grown ups have their hands free. Children who are tall enough to ride the rides at an amusement park will be tall enough to see over the top of the balloon basket. Younger children cannot, and will be desperately bored.

Great question. Balloons, and the baskets people ride in, are rated for different weights. To make sure that each balloon/basket is under their own maximum weight, we have to calculate the total weight of all riders.
