45th Annual Riverton Rendezvous Balloon Rally - July 18, 19 & 20

 RIVERTON RENDEZVOUS BALLOON RALLY

(See schedule below.)

The Riverton Rendezvous Balloon Rally will again be offering balloon rides during the 2025 balloon rally weekend. $300 per person on Friday and Saturday, $250 per person on Sunday. Balloons launch from the CWC soccer fields at 6:00 AM (please be there by 5:45 AM). It usually takes about an hour to sign waivers, setup, and launch, approximately one hour in the air floating above the Riverton area, and an hour to pack up and get back to the field.

NOTE: Ballooning is a very weather-dependent sport. Balloon rides will be cancelled when winds are too high or weather would impact the safety of the flight. If a flight is cancelled and we’re not able to reschedule it for another day, payments will be fully refunded.

If you are interested in securing one of these beautiful flights, please fill out the form below:
