HOT AIR BALLOON FESTIVAL RETURNS TO PARK CITY
HOT AIR BALLOON FESTIVAL RETURNS TO PARK CITY
Park City, Utah (August 31, 2017) – The Autumn Aloft Hot Air Balloon Festival presented by Wells Fargo returns for its fourth flight September 16-17, 2017.
“Autumn Aloft is favorite on the Park City events calendar,” explains event organizer Monty Coates. “The event allows spectators to enjoy the festival in the morning while having plenty of time to take advantage of all Park City has to offer. Saturday evening’s Candlestick event on Historic Main Street is a unique experience for both longtime residents and visitors to Park City.”
More than 30 years ago, Park City resident Gene Moser and a group of local hot air balloon pilots set out to create the classiest Hot Air Balloon festival in the world. Their idea was to create a balloon festival that reflected the free-spirited, anything-goes exuberance of Park City; Autumn Aloft was the brainchild of these passionate balloonists. In 2014, a group of Park City locals organized the event’s return.
Autumn Aloft presented by Wells Fargo is scheduled for September 16-17, 2017 in Park City, Utah. The event will take place at locations throughout Park City. 24 balloonists will be invited to the event.
The schedule of events includes:
Saturday, September 16
Approximately 8:00 a.m. Main Launch at the North 40 Fields
8:00 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. Historic Park City Candlestick Event – Historic Main Street
Sunday, September 17
Approximately 8:00 a.m. Main Launch at the North 40 Fields
