Family Gift Certificate to the 2009 Citrus Classic Balloon Festival, July 30 - August 1, Santa Paula, California.  Includes Two (2) day Entry passes for two (2) adults and two (2) children; tethered balloon rides for two (2) children; pizza dinner for four (4).

Known as the “Capitol of Citrus” and the birthplace of Sunkist, Santa Paula is a fantastic locale for spectators and balloon pilots alike. Only Santa Paula offers the spectacular sight of hot air balloons flying over field crops, orchards and working ranches relatively unchanged since the turn of the century. . . towards the Pacific Ocean!  

On Friday, the Citrus Classic presents the Evening Balloon Glow:  over 30 balloons inflating at sunset, then illuminating through dusk like giant glowing lanterns.  Excitement continues Saturday as balloons compete in the Hare & Hound Race, and Special Shape Balloons offer tethered rides to children.  Enjoy live music, the art gallery, crafts and souvenirs, wine garden and great food as you cheer the balloons on!
