The Spirit of Boise Balloon Classic is this week!!! spiritofboiseballoonclassic is seriously one of my favorite things we do in Boise.

A couple years ago I had had a pretty severe accident and this event was the first thing that I attempted to attend after it happened. I don’t know if I can quite explain the feeling of hopefulness it gave me. Just something beautiful about people coming together for something like this. Come for whatever reason. But hopefully it’s uplifting. (No pun intended. 😉) Don’t feel comfortable attending. Totally OK, just make sure to look to the skies! 

Here’s the information from their website, hope you get a chance to go see it! 

🎈 Wednesday, September 1 Kid’s Day! Twenty balloons are expected to inflate at Ann Morrison Park in the morning. Why? Because little ones are invited to jump into the basket of one of those tethered balloons to experience what a ride in a hot air balloon feels like!


🎈Thursday, September 2
Media Day Spirit of Boise Balloon Classic extend a special invitation for Media Day where twenty balloons are expected to inflate at Ann Morrison Park to offer invited Media guests the opportunity to experience hot air ballooning first hand.
These are “tethered rides” where the balloons are tied to the ground to prevent full flight.  There is an optional flight to follow, all flights are weather permitting.

🎈Friday, September 3
V.I.P. Day and Nite Glow Spectacular One of the most memorable and spectacular days of the Spirit of Boise kicks off with a morning tribute to Spirit of Boise Balloon Classic founder, Scott Spencer. 
The day finishes off with the Nite Glow Spectacular!  A Spirit of Boise tradition of beautiful glowing balloons igniting in a synchronized light show accompanied by live music, food, and festivities.

🎈September 4 and 5th 
Dawn Patrol Spirit of Boise staff and pilots gather in the wee hours before dawn to prepare for the Dawn Patrol!  Taking flight at the first sign if light and high in the skies for sunrise.
