May 23-25 at The Winery at the Abbey and on neighboring fields in Cañon City
The Create Cañon City Balloon Classic is launching its second year of spectacular festivities. This year the agenda includes a vast selection of exciting events, including a 24-mile mountain bike ride, a fun run, a kite flying demonstration, rocket launches, skydiving demonstrations, wine tastings, arts and crafts, live music, a variety of food vendors and more.
But the highlight of the Create Cañon City Balloon Classic is the hot air balloons, of course. Balloon Meister Barbara Hann will coordinate this portion of the festival with 15 hot air balloons ascending in the daytime and again with an evening balloon glow with the Abbey illuminated in the background.
