The iconic Snowmass Balloon Festival returns to Snowmass Village for its 48th year, September 22-24, 2023. The long-standing Rocky Mountain tradition features three days of 30+ festive balloons launching into the air from 7:30 a.m.-9:00 a.m. amidst the sunrise and the stunning background of Snowmass in the fall.

This year, spectators are encouraged to drive in, hike up, bike around or walk right up to take in the sights right from where the balloons take flight! Please note, no dogs are allowed at this event.

After you’ve seen the balloons in all their beauty, stroll the Snowmass Mall or Base Village to enjoy breakfast or brunch.
