Experience the 2026 Stowe Balloon Festival

Celebrate three unforgettable days of hot air balloons, live music, food and arts vendors, and family fun in picturesque Stowe, Vermont.

We are targeting June 26-28, 2026 for this year’s festival. We are seeking town approval on 3/11/26 and will have more information after that date.

Planned improvements for this year – a move to Mayo Field, in the center of Stowe, which will hopefully allow more launches! Also enhanced vendors, performances, and MORE BALLOONS!
