Soaring Fun in the Marigold City
Good times soar to all-new heights at the Dragon’s Fire Balloon Fest June 27-28, 2025, at the Avanti’s Event Center! Marvel at nearly a dozen hot air balloons as they float into the sky before gently returning to the ground. Don’t miss out on the evening flights Friday and Saturday as the balloons glow once the sun goes down, and the pre-dawn flight on Saturday! This new community event will also feature live music by Capt. Quirk on Friday evening and the Matt Miller Band on Saturday evening, plus food trucks and beverages.
NOTE: Balloon rides will be available only to sponsors — rides are not available to the general public.
