***COVID-19 UPDATE***
After much consideration and deliberation, the Board of Directors of Balloons Over Rockbridge has made the difficult decision to cancel the 2020 Balloons Over Rockbridge Hot Air Balloon Festival. We feel there are too many unknown factors at this time to move ahead with this year's festival. The safety of our community, pilots, entertainers, vendors and festival guests is our top priority this year and we feel that having an event of this magnitude at this time would would be socially irresponsible. We are saddened to have to make this decision but will continue our planning in order to have an extraordinary event with some new updates in 2021.
We will be contacting the vendors and sponsors who have already contributed to this year's event and they will receive credit toward the 2021 festival or a full refund. Those who have booked flights will also be contacted and given refunds or the option of moving their flight to 2021 as well.
We remain hopeful that all of you will stay healthy and be smart as our communities return to a new normal. We will see you on July 2 & 3, 2021!!!
Be Safe and Responsible in the coming weeks!!!
