It might be difficult to get up so early in the morning in order to fly, but trust us when we say: it’s worth it. 👌🏼

(Always wind and weather permitting, of course. 🙂)

It takes a village to raise a balloon! 

We have to recognize our awesome BALLOON CHASE CREW—without them, the whole operation doesn’t happen!!

********Update: the scheduled passenger flight launch is canceled due to strong winds aloft. We **might** be able to tether (lift off to the end of ropes) without leaving the protection of our launch area. If we do this, we will make short 5-minute tethered rides to the end of ropes (treetop height) available to the public.*******

Friends: because of the holiday, we will be on site this evening no matter what. ***If the weather is flyable***, our launch (three balloons) is scheduled for about 6pm. The public is always welcome to come out and watch a launch. But tonight, ***even if we have to cancel our flight and it’s not flyable (decision will be made by 3pm today, Labor Day, Monday September 4)*** we will have one balloon, one pilot and some crew on site at the Upper Middle Falls area of the park no matter what. We will be on site by 6:00. We will open our cabin for apparel and merchandise sales, be available for meet and greet, and to answer questions. It’s possible we inflate or even give tethered rides—again, even if we have to cancel our passenger flights—and if WIND and weather conditions are EXACTLY right to do so!
We hope to meet many of you out there this evening!

Did you know that our flight times are at sunrise and a bit before sunset? That’s because typically, the wind is calmest at those times. And for ballooning, calm winds are one of the many important factors we consider before calling a flight on. Our top priority is the safety of our passengers, crew and pilots!

School Assembly Programs

Liberty Balloon Company offers a unique educational program for elementary and secondary schools. Our assembly entitled “Up and Away with Hot Air Balloons!” combines the natural excitement of the balloon with a wealth of teaching experience.

Liberty Balloon Company offers flight training, balloon events and parties, corporate promotions, wedding packages—and we are one of the only balloon operations in the country whose pilots have extensive experience in all of these categories.

We’ve dropped skydivers and hang gliders from our balloons, bungee-jumped from the gondola, and flown over landmarks from Niagara Falls to the Rockies. We fly the Re/Max balloons for New York and New Jersey. We’ve had weddings in the gondola, given rides to multiple centenarians, and we have a flawless safety record.

So when you want a specialized hot-air balloon event, trust Liberty Balloon Company to host your experience!
