Maize Valley's annual Hot Air Ballon Lift off & Art Fest is scheduled for Saturday September 24th, 2011. This favorite event officially kicks off the fall season at Maize Valley. A dozen or more balloons in a dazzling array of colors will take to the sky against the backdrop of all of our fall harvest activities.
Take a wagon ride, navigate the corn maze, visit the animals, marvel at the pumpkin cannon and so much more. Visit the art festival, take a break in our winery. With all of our fall fun, your family will be entertained for hours.
Full concessions including hot dogs, hamburgers, grilled ruebens and more, plenty of beverages and of course wine tasting will be offered all day. No outside food or beverages permitted.
The fall activities area opens at noon and closes at 10 p.m. Regular admission rates apply - $9 for ages 13 and up, $7 for ages 2-12, under 2 is FREE.
Insiders tip:
*** Plan to arrive in the early afternoon for best parking. This also allows for plenty of time to take in ALL that Maize Valley has to offer before the balloons actually lift off in the late afternoon. Weather permitting, the balloons will return for an evening "glow".
