The seventh annual Northwest Community Balloons over Bend is the only event of it’s kind in Central Oregon. This fantastic display of beauty and magic comes together over the skies of Bend on June 5th, 6th, and 7th, 2009 at The Old Mill District.
The event kicks off on Friday June 5th with a media flight which allows local media personalities to take a test flight with some of the pilots and promote the event to the public. The skies overhead will also be full of balloons on this day, getting the region excited about the festivities to come.
Saturday morning begins with a balloon launch at sunrise from the Les Schwab Amphitheater, weather permitting. Click here for launch information. Early risers are treated to a truly spectacular display as over 20 hot air balloons inflate and begin their float through the Central Oregon sky against the picturesque Cascade Mountain Range.
Later that morning the party starts again at The Old Mill District with live music, a children’s area, delicious food, beer garden and various vendors. New this year will be a Street Art Exhibition featuring local and regional artists creating masterpieces on the sidewalks.
Saturday evening the sky over The Old Mill District comes alive with the Night Glow. This is an opportunity to get up close and personal with the balloons as they inflate at sundown and provide a spectacular show of colors and patterns against a magical night sky.
Sunday morning early risers are again treated with the balloon launch at sunrise from the Les Schwab Amphitheater, weather permitting. Later that morning the festival continues at The Old Mill District with live music, children’s area, delicious food, beer garden, and various vendors along with the Street Art Exhibition.
Northwest Community Balloons Over Bend is a fantastic event which brings together businesses, tourists and families in a community celebration that has something for every generation and demographic to enjoy.
