Caledonia, MI, August 21, 2024 --(PR.com)-- The 2024 Wayland BalloonFest is an exciting two-day hot air balloon festival featuring local vendors from across Michigan and a full agenda of fun activities. Guests can enjoy a kids’ carnival, car show, live music, food trucks, and, of course, balloon flights, a balloon glow, and a meet-and-greet with the pilots.
“This is a great annual event where we took our four kids while they were growing up,” says Childress. At the event’s on-site bookstore, Ink-a-Dink will feature a collection of hot air balloon-themed books, stickers, activities, and free crafts to inspire and entertain attendees, especially children.
The Wayland BalloonFest is more than just an event; it’s a celebration of community, resilience, and hope. New this year is a Memorial Walk to honor those lost too soon to suicide. The registration fee for the walk includes an admission ticket, and all funds raised will support community members who have experienced a loss or need assistance accessing care.
The Inflatable Fun Run is open to all ages and takes place on Saturday, September 7, at 3 pm. Participation is free with a festival ticket, with racers donning inflatable costumes of all shapes and sizes.
This festival promises a weekend of community and inspiration with something for everyone, offering activities, food and products from local businesses while watching the multitude of colorful balloons as they take to the sky.
