Cave Creek's Balloon Festival invites you to enjoy great live bands, hot air balloons, and a fireworks show on Memorial Day weekend. The balloons start to inflate and glow around 7:30 p.m. Adults and children alike will love the live music on the Sanderson Ford’s main stage. Adults can enjoy great beverages, cocktails and wine, as well as craft beer. New this year: Want to surf the new food truck menus without having to walk to each truck? Just hop online and find the information on our user-friendly website. Click on the Food and Beverage tab and plan your noshing attack. Gone are the days of purchasing food, beverage script tickets and waiting in double long lines. Head straight for your tasty eats and enjoy.
Highlights of the event: The balloons start to inflate and glow around 7:30 p.m., but you will want to be there way before then to see the Civil Air Patrol color guard presentation, a flyover by Deer Valley Composite Squadron 302, and to hear our National Anthem performed by Madison Holmes. Later, the powerhouse Shari Rowe Band will headline the event from 6:45-8 p.m. and don’t miss a beat as we flow right into more live music with the Josh Roy Band
