Balloon Classic
presented by:
The Pro Football Hall of Fame Enshrinement Festival Balloon Classic Presented by Aultman attracts balloonists from throughout the United States. It has become one of the most popular of all Festival events with more than 130,000 spectators viewing the balloon activities over the weekend.
There are a total of five scheduled flights each year, and an exciting Night Glow on Friday evening. Added excitement will be generated by the fabulous fireworks display presented by Synchrony on Saturday. There is musical entertainment both Friday and Saturday nights along with a children's area.
Returning for its second year, the Drone Light Show, sponsored by The Timken Company, will light up the sky on Friday and Saturday evening. Experience the magic as a fleet of drones performs stunning aerial choreography in a dazzling display.
Whether you're in the mood for a funnel cake or a slice of pizza there is a vendor to meet your appetite! The Balloon Classic presented by Aultman is truly an event for all families and friends to attend!
Admission is FREE. Parking is $15.
