Happening Today: Chester County Balloon Festival
The summer solstice was a few days ago but it’s never FEELS like summer in Chester County until the hot air balloons take flight at the New Garden Airport in Toughkenamon during the Chester County Balloon Festival.

It’s a weekend long event perfect for families and friends.
There’s music, food, helicopter rides. single prop airplane rides, and even hot air balloon pilot lessons.
Of course tethered and free-flight hot air balloon rides are also available. There’s even talk of monster trucks making an appearance.
It wouldn’t be a festival without the proper refreshments! The Ballon Festival’s beer garden opens at 4:00pm today–just in time for happy hour. So spread a blanket out on the grass and enjoy today’s perfect weather.
You can purchase tickets for the festival here and hot air balloon rides here. Gates open at 4:00pm on Friday and tethered balloon flights begin an hour after.
