The third weekend in July every year is The Ohio Challenge Balloon Fest in Middletown, Ohio. It is $5 per person over 12 or $15 a carload if you park at the Middletown airport and get shuttles in.
Lots of food, booths, skydiving and balloon launching demonstrations every evening with fireworks at every closing.
It is in a huge open field park, so it is best to bring a pop up chair.
Here are some pics from this year’s event. We had not been for a long time and I forgot how beautiful it was! Put it on your calendar for next year!
