Happy 4th of July weekend! There are a lot of things to do in Downtown Prosser. The Prosser Farmers Market filled a taxiway with greatness to support us at our event at the airport in June. Tomorrow morning, we are returning the favor! Before you head off to your holiday BBQs and fireworks, come say hi to some of our crew at the Prosser Farmers Market.

The Prosser Flag and Flight Festival and the American Ballooning Community are taking over a booth at the market for ONE DAY ONLY!

🗓️ When: Tomorrow, Saturday, July 4th | 8:00 AM – 2:00 PM

📍 Where: Downtown Prosser Farmers Market

We are officially considering kickstarting our event for 2027, and we’re doing it with total local pride. Every single item at our booth—from our commemorative coins and stickers to our event shirts—features locally created designs and were produced by local merchants. When you buy local, you support local!

🎈 How You Can Help Us Finalize Our Decision to Soar into 2027:
Shopping the market tomorrow? Stop by, grab a sticker, and order your official shirt to help fund future aviation and ballooning events in the valley.

Can’t make it tomorrow? You can still help us plan! Comment your favorite memories from the June event below. Tell us what you loved so we can keep the best parts and add even bigger, newer attractions for next year!

Let’s keep the momentum flying high. See you tomorrow morning, Prosser! 🎆🎈
