Our Mission: To provide fundraising opportunities for local non-profit organizations while celebrating our community.

Welcome to the event that celebrates our community, the Festival of Balloons in Tigard! The hot air balloons are definitely the featured attraction of the Festival, but... it’s MORE than balloons! The Festival is a place for families and friends to gather, play and relax. Join us in the pre-dawn hours as hot air balloons launch into the morning sky (weather and pilot permitting). Spend the afternoon shopping at the craft and vendor booths, eating great food from local food vendors, and enjoying thrilling Funtastic carnival rides and games. Of course, it wouldn’t be the Festival of Balloons without the ever-impressive NW Natural Night Glow (weather permitting), Main Stage Entertainment Presented by Krista Britton, Hillshire Realty Group|REAL, Festival of Cars presented by Landmark Ford, Kid’s Zone and a whole lot more! Check out the Schedule of Events for complete details.
