Up and Away Hot Air Balloon & Music Festival

Up and Away Hot Air Balloon & Music Festival runs Jan. 15–16, 2027, at Staheli Family Farm in Washington, Utah. The Washington Area Chamber of Commerce organizes the two-day festival, with balloon launches at 7:30 a.m. both mornings and the vendor and craft fair ending at 9 p.m. each day.

Balloon launches begin at 7:30 a.m. both mornings, followed by tethered rides. The program also includes precision aerial parachuting, a vendor market and craft fair, food trucks, live music, kids rides, a pie eating contest and the Rising Star Talent Competition. A car show open to classic cars starts at 10 a.m. on the second day alongside the vendor and craft fair and local entertainment. Each evening ends with a balloon glow as the sun goes down.

General admission is $1 for everyone age 2 and older and is sold online; a QR code is required for entry. Tethered ride tickets cost $30 for ages 3 and older and are sold online only, not at the farm. Parking is free. Vendor and food booths are $200 for a 10-by-10-foot space, and the chamber also accepts performer applications and balloon sponsorships.
