Festival of Balloons in Tigard 6/22/24

The Festival of Balloons in Tigard, OR. Bring in summer solstice with the Tigard balloon festival. The festival starts before dawn as the balloons arrive, set up, and start to fill and take brave folks on an adventure at sunrise. The balloons certainly take center stage in the morning but the afternoon and evening shift into carnival style fair, evening balloon lights, and music performances. I arrived early in the morning as the balloons were just finishing the set up and starting to take off. Quite a few poeple had gathered by 7am but it was still quiet enough to walk around and see all the attractions. A fun spectacle and worth it for balloon fans. Your ticket and wristband could be used in the morning and would give re-entry for the evening shows if you decided to leave and come back. A joyous time for sure, and a must see for those in the area.
