Hot Air Balloon Launch on the E.P. Rock school grounds, 340 13th Street South.
This is an optional flight. This means that if the balloons are able to fly at the morning launch, pilots can participate in the 3:00 flight at their discretion. However, if the balloons are not able to fly in the morning (and if weather permits) there will be a mass ascension flight at 3:00 pm. Event highlight! All inflations and flights are weather dependent.
EP Rock School Parking Notice: There will only be PARKING ON ONE SIDE OF THE STREET AROUND THE EP ROCK SCHOOL GROUNDS. The City of Hudson has made this change to allow for emergency vehicles and safer walking to and from the event. There will be parking signs posted. Please be courteous, DO NOT block driveways and follow all signage to make this a great event for everyone.
Hot air balloon flying is never guaranteed. Balloon rallies like Hudson Hot Air Affair require good weather conditions for balloon flights. If the balloons are not able to fly, please remember there is so much more to do in Hudson. Enjoy the other Hudson Hot Air Affair events or check out the Hudson Area Chamber of Commerce website for Hudson Activities or Local Attractions.
PORTABLE RESTROOMS ARE AVAILABLE ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE SCHOOL, NEAR THE LAUNCH FIELD. The restrooms inside EP Rock School are not available to the public during Hot Air Affair.
