The 4th annual Hot Air for Hope will be held at Lampe Park in Gardnerville, NV from May 15-17, 2026! Hot Air for Hope serves as a benefit for the Center for Hope & Healing’s community programs. Organized by the Carson Valley Balloon Festival and Presented by Carson Tahoe Health, this event is FREE to the public and will include three public balloon launches from Lampe Park at 6:00am each morning (weather dependent).
On Friday evening, May 15th, hot air balloon baskets will fill Lampe Park for "Fire It Up, Carson Valley!" Visit Carson Tahoe Health's booth for your Free game board scavenger keepsake, and be sure to show them when you're finished for a prize!
Food trucks and music will start at 6:00pm while pilots set up their gear for one hot night! Be sure to come out and meet the pilots, have a bite to eat, and enjoy some great live music.
In addition to the balloon events, the festivities will include live music, food trucks, live art performances, and local vendors, Friday 6pm-10pm, Saturday 5am-3pm (plus Kid's Zone), and Sunday from 5am-10am. Festival activities will occur rain or shine!
The community is welcome to come enjoy the balloons up-close on the fields, take pictures and learn more about ballooning! Remember to collect all the pilot trading cards at each balloon before they leave the ground in the morning.
Plenty of volunteer opportunities are available as well, we couldn't get this event off the ground without you!
