Every year, hundreds of balloons fill the sky with their fun shapes and brilliant colors. Watch them fill the air, take off, and fly dozens at a time at the 2024 Lake George Balloon Festival.
Our 3-day program is a perfect way to explore the festival in earnest. Our accommodations are in the Lake George area - the perfect spot to truly enjoy the activities of the weekend. Our hotel is located just minutes away from the festival, allowing us to enjoy both the morning and evening launches of the hot air balloons.
Our first touring stop is the Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, MA. Norman Rockwell Museum presents the world's largest collection of original Norman Rockwell art, including beloved paintings from the Saturday Evening Post and the Four Freedoms, and the best in the field of American illustration. Enjoy free time to have lunch on our own in historic downtown. That evening, experience Lake George's majestic scenery on a wonderful dinner cruise complete with entertainment on board the Lac Du Sacrement. You will have 3 opportunities to see the balloons lift off for the skies. Enjoy an early breakfast Saturday & Sunday morning if you are an early riser and want to see the morning flights. We will also enjoy the Saturday evening balloon launch for those that decided to sleep in. with tons of food vendors, a plethora of craft vendors, and live entertainment, there is plenty to do at the festival. we will also build in free time to enjoy downtown Lake George as well as the numerous outlet shops of the area. this is a fun and relaxing program where you get to decide how you want to spend your time. No pressures - just a lot of fun!
