Voted Wausau’s Favorite Event five years running, the Balloon & Rib Fest has something for everyone. Don’t believe us? We’ve got: Hot air balloons, 6 Rib Vendors, kites, animals, bounce houses, fantastic food, and the LARGEST fireworks show in the region - NOW 3 NIGHTS!
Please keep in mind weather is a MAJOR factor in the balloons to launch and glow. Although it may be sunny and seemingly “perfect” out, wind is always a factor. The pilots want to show off their beautiful balloons and will attempt to launch/glow at all Opportunities.
The Wausau Balloon Rally & Glow has become a “must-see” tradition for the Wausau area and surrounding communities. This multi-day event has something for everyone…live music and delicious food all weekend long, children’s rides, helicopter and plane rides (fees may apply), kite-flying demonstrations, a spectacular fireworks show, and of course the beautiful hot air balloons!
