My Visit in 2020
I had the pleasure of attending the Warren County Hot Air Balloon Festival yesterday evening. The festival will be here, Wednesday through Sunday, August 19-23. I purchased my tickets online https://balloonfestnj.com/
I have been to a hot air balloon festival before and arrived too early before the balloon launch. This time I came at the perfect time. I was able to get a good spot and relax before the launch.

Bring a blanket or chair and arrive early to get a nice spot. It was pretty hot in the sun, we sat under the cool shade of the trees. When we arrived, there will be a COVID-19 survey that will need to be filled out and your temperature will be taken. Masks are to be worn at the festival and social distancing must be practiced. We had the most delicious pulled -pork with loaded French fries while we were there. Food vendors are there or bring your own food and drinks.
