Please Note: The St. Patrick’s Balloon Fest & Glow entirely depends on the weather. The St. Patrick’s Festival Committee, Irish Balloon Festival organizers, and individual balloonists closely monitor the weather.

If the weather conditions are too windy or storms are forecast, the take off will be postponed or cancelled until conditions are acceptable. We love our balloonists. Their safety is our primary concern.
