Important Update for Tonight’s Montgomery Balloon Festival Attendees
After closely monitoring the weather throughout the evening, the storm systems have unfortunately not moved far enough away for us to safely inflate the hot air balloons.
While we know this is disappointing, the safety of our guests, balloon pilots, crews, and volunteers will always come first. Safety is never a decision we take lightly.
As part of our Fair Weather Guarantee, all tickets for tonight are automatically valid for next year’s Montgomery Balloon Festival or any affiliated Hot Air Balloon Festival we produce. Simply keep your tickets—no additional action is required.
We sincerely apologize for the disappointment and thank you for your understanding and continued support. We can’t wait to welcome you back for beautiful balloons under better skies.
Thank you,
The Montgomery Balloon Festival Team
