Poster Havasu Hot Air Balloon Festival 2026

🎈 Havasu Hot Air Balloon Festival & Fair – Lake Havasu City 🎈 Color on the Colorado (including the Dixie Belle!) Each January, the skies above Lake Havasu come alive with dozens of vibrant hot air balloons lifting off against the desert and blue-water backdrop of the Colorado River and London Bridge. This annual festival is a breathtaking celebration of flight, color, and community that draws visitors from across the Southwest and beyond. From glowing sunrise mass ascensions to the spectacular “Glowin’ on the River” balloon night glow, where illuminated balloons dance to music at dusk, every moment is picture-perfect. Wander the festival grounds for delicious food vendors, live entertainment, carnival rides, artisan booths, and family-friendly fun — or simply relax and watch the balloon teams prepare for flight, sharing stories and smiles. Whether you’re capturing balloons drifting over the water near the London Bridge or enjoying the festive atmosphere with friends and family, the Havasu Balloon Festival & Fair is an unforgettable Lake Havasu winter tradition.
