Autumn Aloft Hot Air Balloon Festival
Sept. 20–21 — Originally created to reflect the free-spirited, anything-goes exuberance of Park City, this festival is back after a 20-year hiatus with even more balloonists than before. This year 15 balloonists have been invited to fill the sky. The previous Autumn Aloft Festivals entertained almost 20,000 spectators before Park City was the flourishing mountain destination it is now. Garnering worldwide interest in past years, this festival will resume the tradition. The balloons will be in the air from 7 to 9 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday, launching from the North 40 Fields behind Treasure Mountain Middle School. The evening launch known as the “Glow” will take place from 8 to 9:30 p.m. Saturday along historic Main Street. Spectators are encouraged to arrive early and enjoy the many shops and restaurants in the Historic District. Ample parking will be provided at Park City High School. The public bus transportation is free to ride and takes visitors to every corner of Park City. (autumnaloft.com)
