Kiwanis Baloon Fest

Imagine a sky alive with colorful hot air balloons drifting gracefully over a serene lakeside setting, their vibrant shapes glowing against the sunset—welcome to the Kiwanis Indiana Balloon Fest, a family-friendly celebration of wonder, community, and adventure. Held over two magical days on August 28-29, 2026, at the picturesque West Boggs Lake in Loogootee, this international award-winning event captures the thrill of ballooning with heartwarming local flair. What makes it special is the perfect blend of awe-inspiring aerial displays, lively entertainment, and a deep sense of giving back through Kiwanis fundraising for kids and community causes. Attendees rave about the festive vibe: kids giggling on pony rides, families savoring tasty bites from vendors, and friends toasting in the beer and wine garden as fireworks light up the night. It's more than a festival—it's a joyful escape that leaves everyone soaring with smiles.
