Taking place on July 8th and 9th, 2017, Steamboat Springs’s 36th Annual Hot Air Balloon Rodeo is an event unlike any other complete with larger than life balloons, incredible scenery, and art displays from some of Colorado’s most talented artists! What makes this hot air balloon spectacle a “rodeo”? It’s because of the fun contests and events happening while the balloons float through the sky (like the must-see balloon dipping into Bald Eagle Lake)! In addition to the balloons themselves, make plans to shop the many vendors, walk to the nearby Art in the Park festivities, and take in the balloons as they light up the Saturday night sky over Mount Werner!

For a full schedule of events, vendors, and even parking information, be sure to visit the Steamboat Springs Chamber Resort Association’s website.
