Labor Day weekend in Colorado Springs brings with it an annual event that that residents and tourists alike celebrate much more than the end of summer; The Colorado Balloon Classic. The festival begins on Saturday and runs through Monday with over 100 hot air balloons taking off from downtown’s Memorial Park in two waves each morning at sunrise. Residents throughout the city can watch as the skies are filled with the beautiful colors against the early morning sunrise. Some residents are even treated to balloons floating over their houses and hearing the soft rumble of the balloon’s burner as the pilot greets them with a “hello” or a hand wave.

The Festival continues each day with music, entertainment, and concessions at Memorial Park before the belloons reinflate, while tethered to the ground, at sunset for the evening’s “glow.” As the balloons are illuminated in the dark by the flames of the burners, the shimmering and dancing balloons dazzle the onlookers and remind them what a great city Colorado Springs is to live in.
