Tigard Festival of Balloons
Welcome to the event that celebrates our community, the Festival of Balloons in Tigard! The hot air balloons are definitely the featured attraction of the Festival, but… it’s MORE than balloons! The Festival is a place for families and friends to gather, play and relax. Join us in the pre-dawn hours as approximately 20 hot air balloons launch into the morning sky (weather and pilot permitting). Spend the afternoon shopping at the craft and vendor booths, eating great food from local food vendors, and enjoying thrilling Funtastic carnival rides and games. Of course, it wouldn’t be the Festival of Balloons without the ever impressive NW Natural Night Glow (weather permitting), the Rogue Ales Beer Garden, Main Stage Entertainment Presented by Krista Britton, Hillshire Realty Group|EXP, Festival of Cars presented by Landmark Ford, Kid’s Zone and a whole lot more!
