Burlington Hot Air Balloon Festival Takes Places June 2026

What an amazing sight to see!! It was years ago, but I remember driving along, focused on the road, and all of a sudden, there was this huge, colorful hot air balloon floating right above. I couldn't believe it!

It was out of nowhere, and I remember thinking how cool it would be to see a bunch of hot air balloons in the sky, or even take a ride in one. Honestly, just seeing them would be cool enough for me. I don't know if I'd actually be able to go up in one; I'd probably be way too nervous!
