Gulf Coast Hot Air Balloon Festival

The family-friendly event has activities for everyone! Festival admission is free, with select activities available for an additional charge. Guests will enjoy the expansive amenities of OWA, including various restaurants, unique retail shopping choices, a variety of entertainment attractions, and of course, The Park at OWA – its themed amusement park with more than 20 rides and attractions to experience.

Traditional festival activities will also be added throughout the property during the festival weekend, featuring children’s activities, artesian and food vendors, live music, and (weather permitting) tethered balloon rides, balloon glow, and balloons in flight!

More than 40 hot air balloons will light up the green space at OWA and soar through the skies in the heart of Foley. Balloons fly at dawn and dusk each day, wind and weather permitting.
