Who doesn’t love watching hot air balloons drift through the fall sky? Come check out the Eden Balloon Festival. The event notice on VisitOgden.com says: “Come to Eden Park on Saturday, September 26, for a full day of balloons, music, food and community fun at the Third Annual Eden Balloon Festival. Ogden Valley is once again preparing to be painted with vibrant colors as hot air balloons rise against the backdrop of the Wasatch Mountains bringing the community together for a day filled with wonder, tradition, and small-town charm. Last year’s festival, which drew families, neighbors, and balloon enthusiasts alike, proved that the spirit of ballooning in the valley is alive and well. What began as a grassroots effort by a handful of local Valley residents has quickly grown into a beloved tradition. Organizers say the momentum from last year’s event inspired them to dream bigger, while still keeping the festival rooted in its original vision–community first.”
