33nd Annual Stoweflake Hot Air Balloon Festival

July 5-7, 2019 Sponsorship Options

We’re pleased to announce that the 33rd annual Stoweflake Hot Air Balloon Festival will be held on July 5-7, 2019. We are hoping your organization can be a part of this cornerstone event drawing over 10,000 visitors from around New England and the world, in a single weekend. Named one of the 20 best balloon festivals in America, your sponsorship is critical for our continued success.   

Over the past years, the balloon festival has received local and national recognition. Local news coverage includes WCAX channel 3, Local 22/ Local 44 News, and WPTZ channel 5. Famous national and global travel writer Linda Bentley, with over 750,000 followers on Trip Advisor, and Jetta Bates Valisatos, star of Bravo TV’s travel show, ‘Tour Group’ and writer for Buzzfeed, have also featured this event.

The festival has had the honor of receiving the Vermont Chamber of Commerce, “Vermont Top Ten Summer Events” award multiple times. Through our aggressive and well-tuned marketing campaign, we will continue to generate press locally and nationally. Our social media and public relations efforts continue to achieve great success and receive rave reviews in the Boston Globe, Burlington Free Press, New Haven Register, Vermont Business Magazine, Times Argus, Stowe Reporter, and the Chicago Tribune, among others.
