Second Annual Creede Balloon Festival

It’s a morning of the second Annual Creede Balloon Festival. The air is cool, the light in the sky only now beginning to break into dawn. Around you, voices and activity take on an excited hush as giant blobs of color begin to rise up off the ground. They take shape almost as if alive; gentle, multi-hued creatures whose blasts of flame serve only to fill them with warm lift. Then they rise. First one, now another. A crowd of them, slow and majestic, growing, lifting, filling the sky with their silent ascent. Great, upside down teardrops of color, raining upwards into the heavens.

Most of us have seen hot air balloons from afar but nothing prepares you for being there as they lift off on their journey – not to mention the thrill of going along in one! Balloon festivals are a unique opportunity for photographers of all levels so don’t forget to bring your camera along! The Creede Hot Air Balloon Festival is a wonderful opportunity to witness, first hand, the sport of ballooning.

A general admission party is scheduled for Friday night at the Mineral County Memorial Airport in Creede, CO. A live band will be part of the festivities along with food and drinks.
