Our neighbor New Mexico may be king when it comes to hot air balloon festivals but it’s becoming a more common event here in Arizona. Today, we’re going to take a look at one balloon festival that not only promises a fun day but is also the largest balloon festival you can find during an otherwise chilly January.

Havasu Balloon Festival and Fair will be hosting its eighth annual event, where you’ll get to see dozens of hot air balloons take flight over a three-day period. The mild winter temperatures in Lake Havasu City make this the ideal place to host the event in January.
