36th Annual Burgerfest Balloon Rally

The Hot Air Balloon Rally is one of the most anticipated attractions of Burger Fest in Seymour, adding a colorful and family-friendly spectacle to the community's celebration of the town's claim as the "Home of the Hamburger." Held at the nearby Rock Ledge grounds, the rally features dozens of vibrant hot air balloons that inflate, launch, and drift across the Wisconsin sky, creating unforgettable views for visitors of all ages. Weather permitting, guests can watch morning and evening balloon ascensions, then experience the magical Balloon Glow at dusk, when tethered balloons illuminate the night with synchronized bursts of flame. The event is free to attend, allowing families to walk among the balloons, meet pilots and crews, and enjoy food, entertainment, and community activities alongside the Burger Fest festivities. Together, burgers, balloons, and small-town hospitality make the rally a signature Seymour tradition that draws visitors from across the region each year.
