The Holiday Balloon Fest in Battle Creek takes place August 22-27. This year’s Holiday Balloon Fest is also the site of the 2011 US National Hot Air Balloon Championships! Holiday Balloon Fest began in 1998 at Kellogg’s Cereal City USA in Battle Creek and has grown from just 13 pilots that first year to over 70 balloonists, drawing over 25,000 people to enjoy this graceful spectacle.

You can check them out on Facebook and see more in their photo gallery and a few video slideshows as well.
