The Spirit of Boise Balloon Classic is back at Ann Morrison! Five mornings of fifty-something hot air balloons going up over the river while most of the city is still asleep. It’s free, it’s absurd, and it’s the best thing that happens in Boise all year.

📍 Ann Morrison Park — 1000 S. Americana Blvd
🗓️ Wed Sept 2 – Sun Sept 6

WED 9/2 — Kid’s Day
Balloons on the field 6:45a, kids’ activities 7:25a. Free tethered rides.

THU 9/3 — First Launch
Balloons arrive 6:30a, first launch 7:20a.

FRI 9/4 — Nite Glow
Tribute launch for founder Scott Spencer 7:10a, flight 7:20a. Then come back: Fun Zone opens 4p, food + vendors + live music from 5p, and the balloons light up after dark. This is the one to bring people to.

SAT 9/5 — Family Morning Launch
Inflation starts 6a, flight 7:20a.

SUN 9/6 — The Great Launch
Dawn Patrol 6a, final flight 7:20a.

Every morning launch is weather permitting — balloons don’t negotiate with wind. Get there early, park once, bring coffee, stay for the whole thing.

Five mornings. Then it’s gone for a year. 🎈

📌 Save this for the dates.
