Saratoga Balloon and BBQ Festival

HUGE disappointment. “Fair food” vendors selling frozen boxed items from Walmart. (Off the Bone BBQ was the only good stuff) Dog show on promo, no where to be found. One balloon tied to trucks.

I took my 3 year old daughter-- and she loved everything. We stayed for almost 4 hours and did a ton - pony ride, face painting, toured the market, played some games, bounced around, ate... It was cool to see the balloons close up and to have the opportunity to ride in a balloon or helicopter if you wanted. Also, the corn and chicken we got from the roasted corn stand was some or the best I've had!

my 4yo son had so much fun and i enjoyed all the different activities and yummy foods. one thing i would advised would be to bring a lot of cash, it goes so fast before you even noticed, $$$ are all gone ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻

Get rid of the helicopter rides! I'm tired of my house being buzzed all day long. work all week then on the weekend we hear nothing bur noise! I don't live near an airport for a reason! Helicopter so low that when they go over you can't talk to the person sitting next to you. Why do they have to fly over the village? They could fly over the less populated areas? Have you heard of noise pollution and global warming, you don't have to add to it! I'm sure you could come up with a better idea than disturbing the entire village and wasting fuel and adding more co2 to the atmosphere

Amazing when see all the balloons light up. I was there to day but at sunset just have 6 balloons.I wish they have more and different design. The foods is very good. They do have place for hand sanitizer. Really good. Only one thing is the old guy I bought little balloon 2 years ago wasn’t there. I want collect it.

June 21st Was very disappointed that they had not even one balloon up and anchored down for people to take pictures of one. They had one half rip partially blown up one and charged just to walk in and out. It was basically just food and very few vendor's. ? Save your money and go to Saratoga springs battle field in Saratoga was awesome and free and you learn a lot about our forefathers fight for our freedom.????Thanks Dave have a great dayWent back 6/22/19 still no balloons in the air at a balloon festival????????????

Great festival! A lot to do for kids, hot air balloons, amazing food. Can't wait to go back today. Kids had a great time.

I enjoyed it. The balloons were fun to see, though they're really affected by the winds. Lot's of kids games/activities. Balloons only fly at sunset, so pick a good sunny day, and check their Facebook page to make sure the flights are on for that night.

if you NEED something to do maybe you want to go to but if you want to have fun this place might not be for you I really expected more out of it . no im not trying to be a huge critic but just overall I thought it was not very fun and if you are going to go bring something , something fun

Wemy to this festival.for my anniversary , I lost a very precious pearl bracelet I'm hoping some one found it and find it in there heart to give it back !

If you are looking for a lesson on public deception and exorbitant ticket prices take it from these guys. Website lists ticket prices with family discounts, etc. however none are honored at the gate. You are met with "That was presale only", although NOWHERE on the website does it specifically state the prices are presale only. $40 for a family of 5 just to walk through the gate! And there is "no guarantee you will actually see a balloon"...
