PARK CITY HOT AIR BALLOON FESTIVAL GROUNDED DUE TO COVID-19
2020 Autumn Aloft Cancelled in Response to Covid-19
Park City, Utah (July 29, 2020) – The 2020 Autumn Aloft Hot Air Balloon Festival, presented by Wells Fargo, announced today the cancellation of the 2020 event.
“Autumn Aloft event organizers have spent the last several months planning alternative event scenarios for 2020 in response to COVID-19 health and safety concerns,” explains Meisha Ross, Autumn Aloft event director. “We were confident in our ability to host a safe, distanced viewing experience, but we were unsure the reimagined event would meet the event’s goal of driving visitation from outside of Summit County, which a majority of our funding is contingent upon.”
While the event cancellation is incredibly disappointing to both local and visiting Autumn Aloft spectators, event organizers look forward to returning to flight throughout the Park City skies September 18-19, 2021 and thank the community for their continued support.
The 2020 Autumn Aloft was scheduled for September 19-20.
