If Park City’s brilliant fall colors and crisp temperatures aren’t enough of a reason to get you to escape Salt Lake City this fall, Autumn Aloft should be.
Autumn Aloft is the Park City hot air balloon festival originally held in the ‘80s and ‘90s as a way to bring in tourists in the shoulder season, and 2018 is the fifth year of its reincarnation.
Balloons fly above Park City on September 14-15 at 8:00 a.m. with festivities taking place throughout the day. On Saturday night at 8:00 p.m., visitors gather on Main for the Candlestick on Main event.
The Park Silly Sunday Market follows Sunday’s Autumn Aloft. So make a day of it and venture to Park City to see the balloons and purchase local produce, food, and crafts at the Market.
Autumn Aloft and the Park Silly Market are FREE events for the whole family.
Saturday and Sunday’s launch events take place on the North 40 Playing Fields directly behind Park City’s Treasure Mountain Middle school.
