Collierville Balloon Festival

The Collierville Balloon Festival returns again in 2023 on Maynard Way (behind Walmart). The Festival brings together more than 20 stunning hot air balloons, live entertainment, food, arts & crafts vendors, and more to provide a great time for the whole family. Proceeds from the event will support education programs in the local community.

Rise and Shine

Begin Saturday (Sept. 16) and Sunday (Sept. 17) mornings with a FREE breathtaking dawn ascension of participating balloons. Mere pictures strain to do justice to the sight of the ascension, but rest assured, you’ll want to bring your camera.

Fun for Everyone in the Afternoon

Gates will open at 3 pm on Saturday and Sunday for the Collierville Balloon Festival. There will be live music, a Kids' Zone, food trucks and other food vendors, as well as arts & crafts vendors. Enjoy carnival rides*, midway games*, and activities for all ages.

*Additional fees for carnival rides and midway games. Tickets are required to attend the festival.
