The Chester County Hot Air Balloon Festival – June 18th & 19th

If floating above the rolling hills of Chester County sounds like your idea of heaven, head to the Embreeville Athletic Complex west of West Chester on Rt 162 to board a hot air balloon—or just to admire the sight of them.
On Saturday, June 19th, starting at 3:00 pm, there will be craft vendors, food vendors, a Kids Fun Zone and live music from Main Stage. And, of course, Hot Air Balloons of all shapes and sizes arriving and preparing for the 6:15pm ascension. Be sure to hang around for the fireworks at dusk

Balloon Festival Admission is Free!
Parking Donation $5.00 per car is requested.
