Come enjoy an old-fashioned, fun-filled weekend as 25 hot air balloons take to the air at Balloons Over Anderson! Take a hot air balloon flight, a tethered balloon ride or stroll through the festival and enjoy the other activities. Have a relaxing breakfast, lunch or dinner with our food vendors while watching the beautiful hot air balloons. Five balloon flights are scheduled and one dedicated balloon will be providing tethered balloon rides all weekend. One evening glow is planned for Saturday where all balloons will inflate and illuminate the night sky.

You will love the show with other flying aircrafts presented by the FireTower Flyers remote control airplane club and the Flying Tigers Parachute Team. XXXtreme Hobbies R/C Cars and Trucks will be performing and racing throughout the weekend. You'll also love seeing the Dukes of Hazzard Cars and the A-Team Van on display at the festival. NASCAR is even represented with the Great Clips Car.

Entertain the kids with the Bouncin'Roo inflatables, the Wounded Wolf Bungy Trampoline, Water Walkers of Lexington and Body Zorbs. Kids can ride Thomas the Train and there are plenty of crafters as well as other fun activities for the adults.

For your listening pleasure enjoy the sounds of Chris Gunnels, Saxtress Leisha J, the Temptations featuring Michael Jackson and Elvis impersonations, and Mile Marker 0. Emcee duties are provided by MC/DJ Lisa Drudge.
