Balloons Over Bavarian Inn

About the Event

Witness beautiful morning and evening flights by 24 hot air balloons over Frankenmuth! Nightly balloon glows take place in the grassy field near River Place Shops, this is a must-see event you don’t want to miss at the Frankenmuth Dog Bowl!

Do you live within a 10 mile radius of Frankenmuth?  If so and you would like to allow a Hot Air Balloon to land or launch from your property, please place a white sheet on the spot starting Friday early morning until Monday afternoon.  Make sure your sheet can be seen from the air and when a Balloon Pilot sees it he knows you have given him permission to land.

Schedule of Events:

Evening Balloon Flight: 7:00 to 8:30 PM over downtown Frankenmuth

Nightly Balloon Glow: 9:00 to 10:00 PM at River Place Shops Field – Experience the Village of Balloons! Watch 12+ tethered hot air balloons inflate at the River Place Shops field & 2 balloons in the front lawn of the Bavarian Inn Lodge. Opportunities to interact with the pilots and crew are available during each Nightly Balloon Glow at Dog Bowl.

We want to hear from you if you have an event to share or updates to this event.
