Iowa’s National Balloon Classic
Over 100 hot air balloons paint the Iowa sky with brilliant colors and playful Special Shapes! Cheer on skilled pilots as they compete for points and prizes, sit back and enjoy live music nightly, and prepare to be awestruck as dark skies come alive with a mystical glow during Dawn Patrol, Nite Glows and Evening Fireworks. Experience all of this and so much more at the 2025 National Balloon Classic!
