50 hot air balloons will decorate the sky at the 2nd annual Out West Balloon Fest and Fun Run at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Ariz. On March 4, 5 and 6, 2016.
Spectators will witness the launch of the most beautiful vehicles in the sky and partake in a weekend full of special activities to keep the whole family entertained.
Balloon pilots will participate in various balloon competitions, such as the Hare and Hound race, to win prizes throughout the weekend.
“It not only generates a competitive edge for our balloon pilots, but it’s a magnificent site to see by spectators,” said Vanessa Clifton, owner of Aerial Solutions, LLC, event coordinator for the Out West Balloon Fest.
From the beautiful Great lawn of the stadium, spectators will watch balloons launch each morning, and watch them glow on Friday and Saturday evenings.
After each morning launch, the Prescott Regulators and their Shady Ladies will be putting on one of the best gunfighter shows in the Southwest. Other activities include tethered balloon rides, a kids zone, a charity 5k Fun Run Saturday morning, market vendors, live music and much more.
Bring your appetite because on the ground attendees will find dozens of food and novelty vendors, hours of live music, wine and craft beer tastings and opportunities to mingle with the balloon pilots.
