Overview
It’s almost time to look to the skies! Jupiter Flights Balloon Festival will soon return to Conner Prairie, and this year’s event is bigger and bolder than ever. As Indiana’s largest hot air balloon festival, Jupiter Flights brings together more than 45 colorful hot air balloons, thrilling competitions, live entertainment, and family fun across three unforgettable days.
From early morning launches to magical evening balloon glows, guests will witness ballooning at its finest — including appearances by two international pilots, hailing from England and Belgium.
Come for the amazing sights to behold! Exclusive to the festival: experience the new Headless Horseman corn maze before it opens to the public. Also try Blueberry Yonder, a new brew from Sun King created for the festival. It's a sour ale infused with blueberries, hibiscus, and rose hips to create a delightfully fruity and tart brew with a light floral aroma. There are also many food options available from pizza to doughnuts, pulled pork, burgers, and so much more.
VIP guests enjoy exclusive access to the Sunset Lounge, featuring premium views of the Balloon Glow, one drink ticket at a private bar, and a tasting experience from Oliver Winery.
