We are incredibly grateful for the support of Monroe Rural Fire Department and everything they do for the Monroe Balloon & Bands Festival. ❤️

As a small token of our appreciation, we stopped by to present them with a donation to say thank you for their dedication, hard work, and continued support.

This festival simply wouldn't be possible without the generosity of our sponsors, the countless volunteers, and every single person who came out to support our event. Your support allows us to continue bringing this festival to our community year after year.

From the bottom of our hearts—thank you for helping make the Monroe Balloon & Bands Festival such a success! 🎈

🎈 Monroe Balloon & Bands Festival Update 🎈

Right now, our pilots are inflating a balloon and conducting a test to evaluate the current conditions. Once that test is complete, we will make a decision regarding balloon flights and whether tethered balloon rides will be possible.

As of right now, the Balloon Glow is still a GO! ✨🎈

We know everyone is excited, and safety is always our top priority. We appreciate your patience as we work through the conditions and will post updates here as soon as a final decision is made.

Thank you for your understanding, and we hope to see everyone out enjoying the festival tonight! 🌟

I’ve been going to this event since I was a kid and They’ve put some work into the activities and entertainment so come on out!

It’s also been so interesting learning more about ballooning — Last years pic, hoping for some cooperative weather this year!
