Up, up and awaaaaayyyy!
The Heritage Inn International Balloon Festival is soaring into High River in a couple of weeks, bringing dozens of hot air balloons to the beautiful town of High River.
From September 24-28th, 2025, this is a must-see, awe inspiring event! It’s all free too!
Watch these beautiful, and sometimes quirky, balloons rise into the air, propelled by a flame of hot air! As someone who’s had the amazing opportunity to take a ride in the sky in a balloon, I gotta say, as they float toward the horizon you realize the prairie sky really does go on forever!
Pilots from around the world will compete in the Heritage Inn International Balloon Festival. However, the balloons don’t actually “race” at all. A balloon race is actually a navigation contest – a competition to determine who can best navigate their balloon to one or more locations. The balloons may look beautiful, or even comical! But the races are serious business. Mmmhmmm! It’s going to be such a cool event for you to attend.
The Balloon Glow is a popular evening (Friday, September 26, 2025 5pm – 9pm) where you will be able to wander amongst the marvelous wonders and see the balloons unique designs up close and personal as they are lit up to grace the night sky. There will be a few more attractions that evening as well!
