Chesapeake Bay Balloon Festival Soaring Into Harford County This August

HARFORD COUNTY, MD — The Chesapeake Bay Balloon Festival will be descending upon Harford County this August.

The colorful hot air balloons typically have taken flight out of Triple Creek Winery in Talbot County. On Monday, Cedar Lane Regional Park in Bel Air was selected as the festival's new home.

“When we evaluated where the Chesapeake Bay Balloon Festival should be, there really wasn’t any question that Harford County was the answer,” Alex Spies, founder of the Chesapeake Bay Balloon Festival, told WMAR. “The value Harford places on preserving their agricultural heritage and support for agritourism was a natural fit with our mission. The support from Visit Harford, Harford Economic Development, Cedar Lane Sports Foundation and the ag community has been tremendous.”

The three-day event will be held Aug. 4-6. There will be dozens of vendors on site along with food and entertainment. For tickets and more information, click here.
