THINGS TO REMEMBER:

1) Wear casual, comfortable clothing. Weather is usually sunny, but it’s also good to be prepared for some rain. The venue can get dusty during warm weather and muddy when it rains, so remember to be prepared for these conditions.

2) Hot air balloons take off every 5:30-6:00 AM depending on wind conditions. The next opportunity to see the balloons is in the afternoon at 5:30 PM as they fly in, if wind conditions are conducive. The balloons will also be tethered on Saturday and Sunday night for the Night Glow.

3)  Pets may be brought to the fiesta venue, but owners should be responsible to clean up after them. Owners should also make sure that their pets will not be a nuisance to other fiesta attendees.

4)  For safety reasons, smoking is not allowed inside the venue, except for designated smoking areas, which will be properly marked.
