We will go out to the park in case anyone misses the message, but based on wind forecasts and projections of rain and storms in the vicinity, we do not expect to be able to put balloons up tonight. Next week is our final Summer Sunday with Balloons Over Letchworth for 2026. It will be “Educator Appreciation Night”; teachers, administrators, educators will receive discounted tethered rides and merch as a thanks for their work during “back to school” season. Hopefully the weather cooperates next week; see you then!
This isn’t drone footage, and it’s not AI. This view is balloon to balloon. Nothing like Letchworth mornings—from above! #balloonsoverletchworth @letchworthstatepark
Weather status line number is 585-243-3178, extension 1. We’ll record a weather update for our scheduled tethered rides today (August 16 2026 scheduled for 6pm to 8pm)) by 3:00 this afternoon!
If you haven’t booked your balloon ride with us yet…this is your sign. The sky is calling. #balloonsoverletchworth @letchworthstatepark
CONGRATS to our coloring contest winners for last Sunday, including Delia, age five, pictured here, as well as Tehila, Anvi and Miranda! Our first “Summer Sunday at the Park” was a great success.

🌞**Summer Sundays with Balloons Over Letchworth!***
🎈For the remaining Sundays in August, we will be at our launch site, Letchworth’s Upper Middle Falls, offering tethered rides when the wind and weather permit. (For those who don’t know, a tethered ride is a ride to the end of tether ropes, to about treetop height, then back down.)
💨Subject to weather conditions, we will offer rides from 6pm to 8pm each Sunday in August.
Rides will be $20/person; free to enter the park after 5, and free to watch!
🖍️We also will offer a coloring contest with prizes, balloon merch will be available, the food concessions stand will be open, and we may have some other balloon-related activities available.
🌲Balloons are for everyone. So come out to the park this summer and join us for Summer Sundays; we look forward to seeing you there!
(For weather updates the day of scheduled rides, call our flight status line at 585-243-3178, option1.)

📞 Anyone can call our recorded flight information line to check the launch status for the day, and everyone is welcome to come watch the balloons take flight!
Thinking about flying? We occasionally have openings for walk-up passengers, so it’s always worth asking!
Pack a picnic, bring a blanket or lawn chairs, gather the kids, and spend the evening enjoying one of the most unforgettable sights at Letchworth State Park.
We hope to see you there! 🌅🎈
Another spectacular summer morning over @letchworthstatepark. This clip highlights the Archery Field, as we approach and fly above the overlook before going out into the gorge.
Rarely do we meet up so closely at altitude. This was a fun moment! For those who know the area, you can see Denton Corners Road below, leading to the Castile entrance of the park; the Great Bend Overlook and Wolf Creek area also are visible in the background.
Happy 250th, USA; it’s a beautiful land!
From aloft, the rising mist was visible at the Upper, Middle, and Lower Falls @letchworthstatepark
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!
