Gulf Coast Hot Air Balloon Festival

← All family fun

Foley, AL — about 5-6 hours away

Balloon flights and glows at dawn and dusk, plus tethered rides (weather permitting), at OWA in Foley. Held annually in late April/early May (2026's dates: April 30-May 2). Free admission — worth combining with a Gulf Coast weekend rather than a straight daytrip given the distance.
