You don’t want to miss this summertime spectacle, when several professional balloonists light up the evening sky with a beautiful balloon glow. The sky will be filled with a spectrum of color like never before, against a backdrop of a breathtaking Tennessee sunset. The Great Smoky Mountain Hot Air Balloon Festival offers something for everyone. This year’s event includes family friendly activities, live entertainment, craft demonstrations and vendors, a food truck court, beer tent, and a 20 minute laser light show.
