Up in the Air

Balloons Over Bay Harbor

The Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta may be the biggest hot air balloon event in the world, but you don’t have to go all the way to New Mexico to see a stunning air show. Instead, point your compass to Bay Harbor for the 5th annual Balloons Over Bay Harbor Sept. 20-22. Catch massive hot air balloons piloted by experts from across the country, special “night glows” on the marina lawn, and family-friendly events like live music, food trucks, and an artisan market throughout the weekend. There’s even a 3K color run fundraiser for Kali’s Cure, which supports those with spinal cord injuries and paralysis. Proceeds from Balloons Over Bay Harbor will also benefit Kiersten’s Ride, a nonprofit that brings help, hope, and healing through suicide awareness and prevention programs our region. See the festival’s schedule at bayharbor.com.
