It is an Amarillo tradition that started many years ago in the parking lot of the Discovery Center and has grown to take over John Stiff Park.  It's weekend of family fun and the coolest hot air balloons.  Each year the Family Care Foundation and Happy State Bank brings Amarillo 3 days of balloons and family fun.   So mark your calendars and make plans to bring the family out to enjoy the sights of all the amazing hot air balloons.

Up in the Air for Family Care Balloon Rally

Your favorite hot air balloons return this year.  You'll see  "Annie" The Ladybug,  Joelly (the baby) Bee, and Spyderpig.  New this year you'll get to me Kermie and Simba.
