About
Beautiful hot air balloons have long been a part of Seymour's Burger Fest and enjoyed by many over the years. Help us keep this tradition alive by donating funds to assist in covering the costs to keep this event free to the public. These balloons consume a significant amount of fuel and require most pilots and their teams to travel a distance to be here.
The Burger Fest Balloon Rally is a chance to see these really big balloons up close and personal. There is no charge for the balloon rally; however, non-perishable food donations are suggested and will be accepted to support our local food pantries. Parking is also FREE at Rock Ledge School and at Rock Ledge Park. Grab your blankets and lawn chairs and head out with the family! There is a park nearby for kids but you might also want to pack some activities as well to occupy the wait.
All donations $100 or more will be entered into a drawing for a chance to win a ride in a hot air balloon at the event (weather permitting). You may donate multiple times for multiple chances!

About the event
Burger Fest is an amazing volunteer-run festival that raises funds for scholarships and community projects in the Seymour and surrounding communities. It draws people from around the world for small town fun with a big attitude!
Seymour, Wisconsin, is an idyllic community of about 3,000 located in the heart of dairy country 15 miles west of Green Bay. Burger Fest started in 1989 to celebrate the birth of the burger in Seymour in 1885. The historical figure, Hamburger Charlie, invented the hamburger way back then and Americans bit on the hamburger craze!
Downtown Seymour - Depot ST. -
