IMPORTANT EVENT UPDATE: Oktoberfest & Balloon Rides Postponed!

We were so excited to take flight with you this weekend, but Mother Nature has other plans! Due to rain in the forecast, the Kiwanis Club’s Oktoberfest has been postponed—which means our rescheduled tethered balloon rides are also postponed.

But don't worry, we aren't grounding the fun! Everything is moving to the rain date:

🗓️ NEW DATE: Next Sunday, October 18, 2026
⏰ Balloon Rides: 3:00 PM – 5:00 PM
📍 Location: Livingston Oval

All previously purchased tickets remain valid, and ticket sales will still begin at 11:00 AM on the new date. Thank you so much for your patience and flexibility as we navigate this autumn weather.

We can't wait to see you under clear skies next Sunday!

Weather Delay Notice: Oktoberfest & Hot Air Balloon Rides

Looks like Sunday’s weather isn't going to cooperate. Oktoberfest is postponed due to the incoming rain, which means our hot air balloon rides will be taking a raincheck as well.

We’re keeping safety first, so everything is officially moved to next week:

🗓️ Date: Next Sunday, October 18
⏰ Balloon Rides: 3:00 PM – 5:00 PM

Thank you for your understanding and for hanging in there with us! We appreciate your patience and can’t wait to see you all under bright skies next Sunday.
