Hot Air Balloons Will Be Soaring At Kansas’s 22nd Annual Sunflower Balloon Fest
Dozens of festivals take place around the Sunflower State every single year. However, there is one large festival in a very small town that will take your breath away. Filled with colors, activities, and unforgettable experiences, the annual Sunflower Balloon Fest in Kansas may become one of your favorite events of the year.
Hop in your car and travel to the beautiful small town of Anthony in Southern Kansas for the 22nd Annual Sunflower Balloon Fest. This family-friendly event will keep you busy the entire weekend.
This three-day event features a long list of activities that adults and children will enjoy. At the beginning of the festival, you can get up close to many of the balloons and watch them fly or glow from the Anthony Airport.
You can sign up to soar above the clouds in a hot air balloon. Of course, tethered balloon rides are also available if you want to stay a little closer to the ground.
Throughout the festival, you can shop at one of the many food and craft vendors in downtown Anthony, fly kites at the kite festival, enjoy free tours of the Historical Museum of Anthony, watch a parade, and much more. It is a day packed with activities.
You won’t want to miss the Muddy Water Obstacle Course at Anthony Lake. This event is a favorite among adults and students and will challenge you both mentally and physically.
This challenging obstacle course is 2.5 miles and features 10 obstacles. Be prepared to get wet and muddy!
From sun-up to sun-down, this is a festival in Kansas you won't want to miss.
The Sunflower Balloon Fest will take place from September 17 to September 19 at the Anthony Municipal Airport. Due to the safety of the participants and other factors, all events at the Sunflower Balloon Fest in Kansas are weather permitting. To learn more about the event this year, click here.
