Warren County Community College Hot Air Balloon Festival

The gates open on Friday, June 3, at 3pm.  If you have never attended a hot air balloon festival before, here is what to expect. Balloons are normally on display in the evenings, prior to the scheduled launch time. A tether balloon will set up around 4:30 pm for tethered rides. Take a short trip up and down for a nice view of the festivities from the air. Pricing is $20 for adults, $15 for ages 4-12, and 3 and under is free with a paying adult. The timing may change if the winds are not conducive to handling the balloon in a safe manner. Organizers anticipate up to 20 balloons in attendance. Full flights are available for purchase by calling 908-283-0721 or emailing fly@njballoonrides.com
