Looking for a fun, different way to celebrate Father’s Day now that you have purchased real estate on Alabama’s Gulf Coast? Make the short drive to Foley, Alabama and attend the Gulf Coast Hot Air Balloon Festival.
The hot air balloon event on the Gulf Coast was named as one of the top free festivals by Parade Magazine and is a one-of-a-kind experience that your whole family will love. The festival is held every Father’s Day weekend and will take place June 13 and 14 this year.
Free to attend, the Gulf Coast Hot Air Balloon Festival in Foley is family-friendly and showcases more than 50 hot air balloons. The balloonists arrive on Friday evening to the Foley Sports Park by air during the very special sunset glow demonstration, a fantastic vision that you won’t want to miss seeing. The remainder of the festival features competition flights, as well as arts & crafts booths, activities for the kids, food and live entertainment.
