Enjoy the outdoors from a different perspective while making lifetime memories! Run entirely by hot-air ballooning enthusiasts and volunteers, the Sonoma County Hot Air Balloon Classic has been a local favorite for many years.

You’ll receive 5 tickets to this year’s Sonoma County Hot Air Balloon Classic on July 19th and 20th, 2025 at the fairgrounds in Santa Rosa.

The festival includes food trucks, a funzone, photo balloon and demonstrations.

There will also be tethered balloon rides for purchase on site, lasting just a few minutes and rising to a gentle height. Times for tethered rides are dependent on wind conditions.
