Panguitch Hot Air Balloon Festival
What can I say, we go from one adventure to the next. Last weekend we had a little wedding, did a little rappelling (only 300 feet) and so this weekend why not hit up the Panguitch Hot Air Balloon Festival….
Steven and I have been 3 or 4 years in a row, but our BFF Ronda has never been to one. So, she’s kind of a “virgin” – ha ha ha. She was in complete awe as the balloons lit up down Main Street in Panguitch.

Balloon Glow
Panguitch is a VERY small town in Southern Utah – population 1,600. Mostly farms and agriculture dot the landscape. However the last weekend in June they put on a festival like no other. This year there were 36 hot air balloons and it brought approximately 10,000 tourists to this tiny one horse town. Seriously, there’s still only 1 traffic light and Main Street is still a “Main Street”. It’s a sweet little town that should be in an old movie (and probably is).
- Stellar colors
We had the girls with us and they loved all of the street music and dancing. Charlee and I even snuck in a little swing number.
- Free entertainment is the BEST
We couldn’t have asked for better accommodations for this rendezvous. The girls slept in the tent, Ronda in the car (by choice), Steven and I slept under the stars beside the fire pit and woke up with a view like no other. This is truly a perfect piece of paradise. Last summer we built a tiny house here for our good friend and neighbor.
- The property
If you happen to be in Panguitch, Utah next summer, look us up. I’m sure we will be at the next Panguitch Hot Air Balloon Festival. It’s a great time for the family or whoever you happen to be with.
