The Third Annual Eden Balloon Festival Set for Saturday, September 26
Come to Eden Park on Saturday, September 26, for a full day of balloons, music, food and community fun at the Third Annual Eden Balloon Festival. Ogden Valley is once again preparing to be painted with vibrant colors as hot air balloons rise against the backdrop of the Wasatch Mountains bringing the community together for a day filled with wonder, tradition, and small-town charm.
Last year’s festival, which drew families, neighbors, and balloon enthusiasts alike, proved that the spirit of ballooning in the valley is alive and well. What began as a grassroots effort by a handful of local Valley residents has quickly grown into a beloved tradition. Organizers say the momentum from last year’s event inspired them to dream bigger, while still keeping the festival rooted in its original vision—community first.
One committee member said, “It’s about more than just balloons—it’s about bringing our valley together.”
Festival Highlights
The festival will begin with a breathtaking sunrise balloon launch Saturday, September 26—a truly magical moment when balloons lift off in the crisp morning air at Eden Park. Watch colorful hot-air balloons fill the skies, enjoy breakfast from local food trucks and take an exciting, tethered balloon ride for a unique view of the park and surrounding valley.
On the evening of September 26, the celebration continues at Eden Park, where families can enjoy the following:
• Local food trucks serving a variety of bites, from sweet treats to hearty meals.
• Live music and entertainment from Jake Martin, The Dam Band, and Mothers of Mayhem!
• Evening Balloon Glow where tethered balloons light up the night sky in a radiant display of fire and color.
Community Spirit at Its Core
The Eden Balloon Festival is entirely powered by community support—funded through donations, local business sponsorships, and countless hours of volunteer effort.
