Balloon Festival Map
“We had an amazing time at the Lancaster Balloon Festival! Our boys loved all the different bounce houses, so many food vendors to choose from (I think our favorite was the Amish soft pretzels), and so many hot air balloons! It was so nice to find a spot on the field to sit, relax, and watch them launch at the same time, and then watch the night glow. And the sunrise launches were a sight to see as well. Thank you for all your hard work in putting together a great time for so many!”
