Description:

From Balloons Over Morgantown Website:

For years, the Mountaineer Balloons Festival was a staple of Morgantown in the Fall. Every year, more than 40 balloons would travel to West Virginia to participate in a series of "hare and hound" races. The festival offered not only balloon launches, but also a carnival, food vendors, music and entertainment, a craft tent, local organizations, a kid's day, presenters from local attractions plus lots more. It became an event for the whole family that many of us remember growing up with.

In recent years, our original festival grounds were built up and no longer offered a safe launch point for our balloons. However, the balloons were greatly missed and so we created an adapted version of the festival called "Balloons Over Morgantown". This weekend event invites 15-20 balloons to return to Morgantown for 5 launches. Last year, we held the first Balloons Over Morgantown Event and we had 14 balloons return to fly in the West Virginia fall foliage. Although the weather didn't cooperate, we had a great time and we were able to have one beautiful launch!
