Unique Balloon Designs Featured At Second Annual Horseshoe Bay Event

More Than 20 Balloons Expected to Participate

More than 20 hot-air balloons from across America will converge at the second annual Balloons over Horseshoe Bay Resort on Easter weekend, April 18-20, at the AAA four-diamond Horseshoe Bay Resort. This year's festival will feature new activities including: historic war plane flyovers, powered parachutes and award-winning live music.

Two special shaped balloons highlight this year's balloon entries. Spunky the Flying Skunk and The Purple People Eater are two balloons sure to grab the crowd's attention. Like last year, balloon glows will be held on both Friday and Saturday evenings of the festival.

Friday's opening night festivities (open to resort overnight VIP package guests only) will include tethered hot-air balloon rides for all attendees, live music by Sauce the Band, and a BBQ dinner buffet.

Saturday's festivities (open to the public) starts with a balloon ascension scheduled for 7:00 a.m. Powered parachute demonstrations and a WWII historic aircraft flyover highlight a busy Saturday morning schedule. Alamo Helicopters will provide helicopter rides throughout the day with wine tastings and an antique car show rounding out the day's activities at the Horseshoe Bay Resort Jet Center.

Saturday evening will include skydivers, the Balloon glow grand finale and a concert by Austin's own Reckless Kelly.
