Hottest Festival

Tarheel Balloon Festival
Orange Counties Hottest Festival
Join us for our inaugural Tarheel Balloon Festival in the Spring of 2021 (April 2nd, 3rd & 4th). Our festival features three days of food, fun and amazing balloons from across America. The event features morning and evening glows, tethered balloon rides, and balloon rides across Orange Counties beautiful Countryside. Come meet our Aeronauts and hear stories about their travels and hobby.
We offer our sponsors premier visibility to maximize your return on your investment from branded balloons with your logo to corporate tents. A portion of the profits from this event will help support local projects and nonprofit organizations within Orange County. The more you help us with sponsorship and support the more we can help worthy causes in our communities.
The team organizing and managing this event have presented some of North Carolina’s premier events over the past 25 years. Events include Hillsborough Hog Day, Harnett Health Foundation Annual Polo Match, Tarheel Antiques Festival and the Dog Days of Summer of North Myrtle Beach. The festival will be hosted outside of Chapel Hill on an 800 acre farm which has been converted to an event venue.
Join our team today as a sponsor for this amazing event...
