What can attendees expect at Callaway Gardens on Labor Day?
There are lots of fun happenings at Callaway Gardens! From wandering the beautiful gardens to special events, you’ll have lots of fun at this little escape from the city. And best of all, you’ll have the opportunity to take a hot air balloon ride!
Tethered Hot Air Balloon Rides
Climb inside a hot air balloon, and safely drift up into the sky, guided by an expert! You’ll be able to enjoy the views and nice breeze from high above the ground! And your balloon is also tethered (or tied down) to the ground, so you don’t have to stress about floating too far away!
Hot Air Balloon Glow
After enjoying yourself on a tethered ride, head over to Robin Lake Beach for a sight unlike any other. You’ll watch as the sky is illuminated with gorgeous glowing hot air balloons, floating gently above the water. And then the fireworks will start! With so much color and light in the sky, you’ll be in awe all night!
