Balloons Over Anderson Hot Air Balloon Festival

Bring the family and enjoy the spectacle as 25 beautiful hot-air balloons magically rise into the Anderson skies in five scheduled flights throughout the weekend (weather permitting)! Check the schedule on the event website for flight times. Book a hot-air balloon flight in advance or during the festival, take a tethered balloon ride, take a helicopter ride, watch the other great shows planned, and have lunch and dinner from the variety of food vendors. 

Spectators are sure to be amazed and entertained by Carolina Dronz. If you have been interested in this new aerial industry, don't miss your chance to see demonstrations throughout the weekend. Carolina Dronz will also provide educational training and hold small drone giveaways daily.                      

Soar above the festival at more than 100 mph with Hilton Head Helicopter Tours. Rides start at just $20 per person. Everyone gets a window seat! Come fly with one of the best helicopter pilots in the state, Isaiah Burch.

There will also be carnival rides and inflatables.
