This Father’s Day Weekend just got taken to a whole new level! Or should we say altitude? Petit Jean Mountain and Airport will be a colorful sight filled with hot air balloons during the weekend. Let’s float around and find out more!

There's an extra special reason to plan a trip to Petit Jean this month.
Petit Jean Balloon Events
In addition to the normal stunning scenery and recreation, the Petit Jean Balloon Events and Helicopter Rides will be taking place from June 19th - 21st, 2020.
Although there's not a full-fledged festival, this will be a fantastic outdoor event.

This will not be a packed festival filled with vendors and visitors which means the event is social-distancing friendly. The majority of the event will be taking place at the Petit Jean Airport. This is where helicopter flights and tethered hot air balloon rides will be.
