January of 2022 was our very first Havasu Balloon Festival. Patti and I were visitors.

In January of 2023, 2024, and now 2025, I have been an active volunteer in the Havasu Balloon Festival.

Only the official volunteers receive T-Shirts.

Each year the Balloon Festival has a very nice program.

Let's look inside the 2025 Program.


The Havasu Balloon Festival And Fair raises funds to assist many local charities and other worthy causes.



Yes! I know you can't read the fine print in the below photos, BUT the below photos give you an idea of all of the activities that are underway each day.

Thursday and Friday.



Saturday and Sunday.

As I sign off here on Saturday evening, I do not know yet what my volunteer assignment will be. 

Each of the last two years I have "Worked" the 5 and the 10 Kilometer runs on Saturday morning. Today I again signed up for this specific assignment because "I know the ropes".

Time will tell.

Cap and Patti
