The Balloons Over Bay Harbor team is proud to present and host the 5th Annual Balloons Over Bay Harbor, taking to the skies September 20 – 22, 2024. This is the most uplifting event of the fall season in northern Michigan, with thousands of spectators that come to witness the balloon launches and night glows, as well as a 3K Color Run fundraiser for Kali’s Cure, great music on Main Street, food trucks, an artisan market and other family fun activities held throughout the weekend.
Since this is our 5th Anniversary, we want it to be bigger and better and are planning to expand the festivities for the weekend and continue to host some of the best pilots in the nation who compete in national festivals across the country. There will be flight activity throughout the weekend and the amazing “night glows” taking place on the marina lawn scheduled for both Friday and Saturday evenings in our Downtown Village.
This year Balloons Over Bay Harbor will be supporting a local non-profit, Kiersten’s Ride, which brings help, hope and healing through suicide awareness and prevention programs in Northern Lower Michigan by donating proceeds from our event to their charitable cause.
