An American Tradition

In a Philly prison yard in 1793, a balloon pilot took flight in a hydrogen gas balloon, marking the first manned balloon launch in the Americas. We think that’s pretty cool, but in 2022 we want to do things a little bigger and louder.

Grab your smartphone and mark your calendar for a new American tradition, the Philly Balloon & Music Festival. Get ready to gaze upon dozens of balloons painting the majestic Chester County sky while glimpsing the iconic Philadelphia Skyline. Rock to the rolling thunder of our main stage featuring Philly’s best local bands. Crawl your way through the best local food, beer, and wine this region has to offer.

You’ll find balloon glow every evening in the night sky, fireworks, bounce houses, family entertainment, hayrides, and more.

Join us over the Fourth of July weekend and celebrate this American tradition!
