Join us for at the 35th Year of Michigan Challenge Balloonfest! 38 Balloon Pilots will be competing for the state championship of hot air ballooning. A carnival and other events will be going on throughout the day. We plan to meet in time to see the mass balloon launch at 6 pm and then stick around until dusk when they will all be aglow and light up the night sky. It is a spectacular display!

We may be fortunate enough to meet a pilot however, there will not be any balloon rides available.
