Throughout the year, Minnesota has many incredible festivals. For music, we have the Baslica Block Party and the Bayfront Music Festival, to name a few. And for events with a small-town vibe, there are countless quirky festivals to fill your weekends. One of our favorite festivals in Minnesota is one of the most colorful.

The beautiful location gives sweeping views of Lake Superior. The view of the lake combined with the colorful balloons is a sight you don’t want to miss.

It’s also lovely to view the balloons from the hill above the park. This picturesque sight is one of the best Duluth photo opportunities.

Of course, the main event is the hot air balloons. These will be stationed all around the park.

Because the conditions change so frequently, there are no scheduled balloon launches. But if the weather is right, you just may see some balloons in flight!
