Spring festivals in Vermont are some of the most wonderful events of the year! This spring, the annual Quechee Hot Air Balloon Festival takes place June 14-16, 2024. We wait all winter long to look up in the air and see hundreds of colorful hot air balloons floating by. This one-of-a-kind experience draws guests in from near and far, including us! Read on to learn more about the fun you'll have when you check out this spring festival in Vermont, now in its 45th year!
Head out to Quechee Green Park for a day of balloons filling the air, local crafts, and some of the best food around.
Tickets for one of the most exciting Vermont spring festivals are available at the gates during the festival weekend. You can also purchase them on the Quechee Balloon Festival web page.
Be prepared to delight at the rainbow of colors you'll see when you watch the 15+ hot air balloons float by during the weekend extravaganza.
Scheduled flights are offered for more than $300, and the tethered rides are much cheaper. Either way, it's an experience you won't soon forget.
The pilots are known to teach some of the guests a bit about flying these monstrous balloons.
You'll soar over the town and see it from a new perspective.
Aside from being in awe of the balloons, have fun browsing the stall displays during this weekend celebration of spring in Vermont!
More than 50 craft artisans and food vendors will showcase their wares.
And just look at the interactive activities in the Kids Zone.
Throughout the annual event, you'll also be treated to local entertainment and live music.
It's one of the best things to do in Vermont in spring.
Of course, one of our favorite highlights of this annual festival is the ability to catch up with friends and people-watch!
