    Hot-Air Balloon Rallies

    This is the only hot-air balloon rally in the city. For over 30 years, El Paso Balloon Festival has featured hot-air balloons from all over the country.  In 2016. dozens of hot-air balloons will lift off on Sunday and Monday mornings along with special-shaped hot-air balloons that go with the festival's "American" theme. Plus, select pilots will offer tethers to the public.  All hot-air balloon activities are FREE.

    Festival & Ranch Activities

    We saddled up and moved locations to Bowen Ranch. The new venue holds a Western saloon and beautiful green pastures over several acres. Festival and ranch activities take place throughout the day that include trail rides, lasso lessons, hayrides, and a saloon for the adults. Plus, enjoy live music, food trucks and festival vendors that the family will love.
