Mesquite Hot Air Balloon Festival 2025

Details

This is becoming an annual tradition because if offers so many interesting photo opportunities and it’s an event our members really seem to enjoy!

Hot Air Balloons may not be the fastest way to fly the skies, but you can’t argue that they can be among the most colorful! Let’s take the opportunity to shoot these brightly colored balloons at the annual Mesquite Hot Air Balloon Festival taking place from January 24-26. Our official DPE day will be on Saturday, January 25, but feel free to attend and enjoy any or all of the days!

As the sun goes down, a balloon glow will take place in the evening (6-7pm), offering a beautiful photo opportunity of inflated balloons lit by their burners. And early each morning the balloons will take flight (weather permitting) for more photo opportunities as they go up, up and away! Spectators are invited to walk among the inflated hot air balloons on display for an up-close experience.

The Festival takes place at the Casablanca Resort in Mesquite, NV.
