Carolina BalloonFest

The Carolina Balloon Festival has been continuously developing and improving over its long history. Outside of the incredible scene of the tons of hot air balloons taking off, there is something for everyone: an amazing kid zone free for the kids to enjoy throughout the day, a legit NC Wine & Craft Beer Garden, and great music. The BalloonFest features a number of balloons that are manufactured right in Statesville, which is also really cool. We think this is one of the premium festivals in North Carolina and is a must on our list of things to do in the State.
