Steamboat Springs Hot Air Balloon Festival July 13-14

From Bald Eagle Lake, watch the most colorful hot air balloons set sail over Yampa Valley. Rise and shine as you’ll get up close and personal with the balloons as they start to inflate between 6:00-6:30 a.m. Balloon departure is between 6:30 and 9:30 a.m. Best of all, this event is free! Note, there is no parking at the lake so you’ll want to coordinate with the complimentary shuttles (shuttle and parking info provided in the link below).

It’s not just about the balloons either - The 45th annual Art in the Park, among other activities, will fill your days with fun. Click here for the entire weekend schedule.
