The Spooktacular Hot Air Balloon Festival scales Halloween to dizzy heights, featuring something more than just a balloon show. Occupying the Slatington Airport in the Lehigh Valley, it turns the night sky into a bright spectrum of colors and offers amazing views of the valleys and rolling hills of the Delaware River. So, let's get into the ins and outs of it!
Why go there
The Spooktacular Hot Air Balloon Festival takes place in fall, when leaves are blazing with warm hues. Thus, it is a perfect way to celebrate Halloween in a unique and eerie way. A canvas of entrancing and strange scenes is created in the nighttime sky as balloons with spooky designs take to the air. Seeing these enormous lit balloons float elegantly over the night sky is definitely a sight for sore eyes.
Program
The Slatington Airport grounds are filled with a range of diverse activities and entertainment, suitable for all age groups. The Spooktacular Balloon Festival is the largest laser light hot air balloon festival in the Northeast. However, in addition to watching giant balloons covering the sky, you can also enjoy tethered hot air balloon rides, fireworks, laser night balloon glow, food vendors, music, and different family activities.
