Event Description


Saturday, August 6, 2022, From the Race Office:


The FAA states that maximum wind velocity for launch is ten knots and tonight’s forecast is not looking favorable for hot air balloons. What does like wind? Kites! And we have them…like you’ve never seen before. The show must go on and our show is in the sky so join us for a fantastic kite display Great American Kites & Events Jason Brown Country on the stage (people come for miles just for this) and fireworks at dark. It’s Iowa, and winds aloft can change, so if it’s safe, the balloons will also fly out of the field.


It is Legend-Airy!
Outstanding entertainment value, breathtaking views!


The National Balloon Classic is one of the largest hot air balloon festivals in the nation, featuring 125+ hot air balloons that paint the Iowa sky with brilliant colors and unique special shapes! For over 50 years this highly competitive, 9-day event has dazzled guests from around the world. Cheer on skilled pilots as they compete for points and prizes, buy a balloon ride for a one-of-a-kind experience, and prepare to be awestruck as dark skies come alive with a mystical glow during Nite Glow and Dawn Patrol. Fabulous food offerings + beer and wine, fantastic fireworks, special events, and so much more!
