Poteau BalloonFest 2024 kicks off tomorrow, October 18th. This year’s special event is the Piccolo Zoppe Circus with FREE showings throughout the event. Other events include Patriot Airpark Demos and the Balloon Glow at dusk each evening. Various food trucks and vendors will be available as well.
The $5 daily admission allows visitors to enjoy all the Poteau BalloonFest has to offer. Some things do cost extra such as the Mean Machine Monster Truck rides, Tethered Balloon rides, an the Fun Times Carnival. Free parking is at Carl Albert State College with free shuttle rides to the event or you can park onsite for $5.
The two-day festival ends with a fireworks show Saturday evening.
(All balloon flights are weather permitting and will probably be early morning and late evening. Balloons will most likely NOT be up during the day. Be watching the sky over Poteau to see them).
