The Poteau BalloonFest is held at the Le Flore County Fairgrounds at Hwy 271 South in Poteau. The 2018 dates are October 19-20. Plan on attending both days because there are different activities scheduled each day.
Both evenings the hot air balloons will do a dramatic glow as they perform with burns, flickers, and the wave. Bring your lawn chairs and enjoy the magical show!

The balloons will fly between the hours of 7 a.m. -10 a.m. and 4 p.m. - 7 p.m. I'ts all based on weather, so check their website or Facebook page for the latest news.
