There's still time to be part of something the whole community looks forward to. 🎈

The 46th Quechee Hot Air Balloon Festival returns to the Quechee Green in June 2026. Sponsorships are still open for local businesses who want to help make it happen.

Every year, more than 10,000 visitors come together here for balloons, local art, and a little Vermont magic. Behind it all are the businesses who believe in this tradition and make it possible.

As a sponsor, you can get on-field recognition, balloon rides for your team, the chance to fly your banner on a sponsored balloon, and exposure to hundreds of thousands of people across our social media and website.

June is closer than you think. If you've been considering it, now is the time. Visit quecheeballoonfestival.com or message us for more info.

Flashback Friday! This year marks our 46th year of Quechee Balloon Festival, and we like to dip into the archives and visit balloon festivals past from time to time. Here's some fun snaps -- if not for the telltale non-digital camera style, these could be from last year.

If you've got any QBF memories to share (expecially about these balloons in paticular), toss 'em in the comments below.
