2011 Balloons Over Bend. Watching hot air balloons magically float overhead somehow brings out the kid in all of us. With three mornings of smooth sailing, Northwest Community Balloons Over Bend Festival created a weekend to remember! Along with three days of exciting balloon launches, we were proud to represent Saving Grace as our beneficiary for the Children’s Festival, raising $16,000 for their non-profit. The Children’s Festival, located at Riverbend Park right next to the stunning Des Chutes River, was a children’s dream come true! With live entertainment all day long, a plethora of bounce-houses, rock climbing, delicious food and treats, water toys, and more than 30 game booths, it was a kids paradise! To finish off a perfect day, 8 hot air balloons lit up the night sky during the incredible Night Glow. Capping off the spectacular event, the pilots ended the festivities with one more morning launch on Sunday.

The 10th annual Balloons Over Bend will take place
