Picture this: a fleet of massive hot air balloons rising up and coloring our skies while beams of laser light put on a show. That’s what you can expect at the upcoming Miami Hot Air Balloon Festival, which is set to take our February plans to new heights — quite literally!
This family-friendly takeover will make its way to Tamiami Park as part of Balloon Shows USA. It’ll take place during the last week of the month, where you can watch in awe as balloons become illuminated with laser lights and music!
Beyond the show, you can expect food vendors, craft and retail booths, kites, live DJs and entertainment at the festival. There will be plenty available to keep the little ones entertained, as they’ll have a designated Kids Zone with games and rides.
You’ll even have the opportunity to ride a hot air balloon yourself, because what kind of balloon fiesta would it be without that option? Tickets to catch a ride and enjoy stunning bird’s-eye views are available separately to general admission festival tickets.
The main attraction — the laser show and balloons — will officially commence at 9 p.m., as the crowd joins in unison for a countdown. With lively music and a synchronized display of hot air balloons and lasers, you’ll be in for a glowing spectacle that’s not to miss! Just make sure to bring blankets, chairs and umbrellas to set up your perfect viewing spot.
The Miami Hot Air Balloon Festival will take over Tamiami Park on Friday, February 28 and Saturday, March 1. It will run from 5 to 11 p.m. More information can be found on their website here.
