Tomorrow...is TWO weeks from the 51st edition of the Huff 'n Puff Hot Air Balloon Rally! That means it's time for us to introduce you to the amazing group of pilots we have joining us this year.

But FIRST......we could not make this 51 year Topeka Tradition a possibility without the support and sponsorship of our amazing host Mount Hope Cemetery, Funeral Chapel & Reception Center as well as all of our amazing Sponsors!! A FREE family event is almost unheard of now days!

If you want to do businesses with those companies that invest in the community and family events...see our sponsors below. Give them a visit and let them know you heard about them from the Huff 'n Puff Hot Air Balloon Rally!

Huge shout out to our amazing 2026 Huff 'n Puff Sponsors!!
