The Wauchula Lions Club is proud to present the Peace River Balloon Festival on Saturday, January 16, 2021 at Hardee Lakes County Park!
Come on out and join them for a spectacular time and fun-filled family event! Enjoy tethered balloon rides, a classic car show, a HCSO K-9 exhibition, the Fire Rescue ladder truck, and food trucks, including the Donut Lady! In the evening, experience a magical balloon glow! While tethered to the ground, hot air balloons inflate and the pilots light them from within, coordinating with music for a breath-taking show!
Event starts at 2 p.m.
Admission is $20 per vehicle. A $5 discount will be given to Hardee County employees and annual park pass holders.
Tethered balloon rides will take guests on a short balloon ride while tethered to the ground. Tethered rides are $20 per person and tickets can be purchased in advance or at the event.
