Ashland BalloonFest – Ashland Ohio's Largest Free Event
Experience the Magic of Ashland BalloonFest.
If you are thinking about visiting the Ashland BalloonFest, my advice is to come prepared for a day filled with joy and excitement! This incredible event is the largest free festival in Ashland, Ohio, and it promises fun for everyone in the family. You'll see colorful hot air balloons soaring high in the sky, and you might even get to see some balloon glows as the sun sets. Be sure to bring your family and friends, as you won’t want to miss the delicious food vendors, special activities for kids, and live entertainment that will keep you entertained throughout the day!
Every year, the BalloonFest brings together people from all over the region to experience the thrill of seeing these magnificent balloons. In 2025, we will celebrate 35 years of this fantastic event, and there are many exciting things planned for the celebration! Whether you are experiencing the festival for the first time or coming back for more, there is always something new and special to see.
