Welcome to the 5th Annual Eyes to the Sky Balloon Festival!
Sevier County and Salina City are pleased to present this spectacular event!

20 pilots participating from New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, Colorado, California , and of course Utah, will be participating in this three-day event. We want to welcome all the pilots and their crew to our valley!

This is a great opportunity for the general public to mingle with balloonists and learn about the sport of ballooning and to experience the fascinating colors and beauty of the hot air balloons.

The balloon launches will be each morning at sunrise, approximately 6:30 a.m.(weather permitting), at a grassy field one mile west of Salina.
Balloons only fly in calm air, making morning flights the best.

All are welcome on the launch field to view the launch or help the pilots inflate their balloons! Get up close to the gentle giants and have an awesome experience. Want to learn how to launch a balloon? Then become a Volunteer Pilot Crew Member!
