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.
On Friday and Saturday, enjoy live music, performances themed to the wonders of flight, a variety of food options, family-friendly activities, and spectacular views across the prairie at sunset! Kick off the fall season with a sneak peak of our corn maze and enjoy a caramel apple from The Apple Store. Children can enjoy rides in our barrel train as well as playtime at Ag Adventures, a thrill ride down our dry tubing hill, games, and more!
On Saturday and Sunday, grab your chair and join us at dawn to cheer on your favorite balloons as pilots fill the sky in exciting competitions, with a grand champion announced after Sunday’s final race!
Throughout the morning, enjoy family-friendly activities and picturesque moments. Stick around as we open early at 9:30 am for general admission to the museum.
New this year: Your ticket to the morning events will also grant you access to a day of fun and wonder across our indoor and outdoor museum experiences.
As the sun goes down, the festivities ramp up with a spectacular balloon glow, as dozens of balloons light up in a kaleidoscope of color.
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.
