Every year, a final tribute to summer and a spectacular kickoff into fall takes place near downtown Boise. Here, in Ann Morrison Park, dozens of whimsical hot air balloons fill the sky in a five-day kaleidoscope of color that can only be described as…well, indescribable.
The Spirit of Boise Balloon Classic, started in 1991, is a family-friendly event that’s not only a true throwback to a simpler time, but a breathtaking experience that is also uniquely Idaho. As these colorful balloons launch simultaneously they fill the sky of Idaho’s capital city with the heart and soul of our state, bring the community together, and create a vibrant and picture-perfect scene, fitting of the City of Trees. And — as these stunning photos show — it’s like nothing you’ve ever seen before.
