🌞**Summer Sundays with Balloons Over Letchworth!***
🎈For the remaining Sundays in August, we will be at our launch site, Letchworth’s Upper Middle Falls, offering tethered rides when the wind and weather permit. (For those who don’t know, a tethered ride is a ride to the end of tether ropes, to about treetop height, then back down.)
💨Subject to weather conditions, we will offer rides from 6pm to 8pm each Sunday in August.
Rides will be $20/person; free to enter the park after 5, and free to watch!
🖍️We also will offer a coloring contest with prizes, balloon merch will be available, the food concessions stand will be open, and we may have some other balloon-related activities available.
🌲Balloons are for everyone. So come out to the park this summer and join us for Summer Sundays; we look forward to seeing you there!
(For weather updates the day of scheduled rides, call our flight status line at 585-243-3178, option1.)
Hot air balloons are for everyone! 🎈
You don’t have to book a ride to experience the magic. Watching a balloon launch is free and open to the public!
We fly passenger flights Monday through Saturday, May through October at the breathtaking Letchworth State Park. There is no charge to watch the launch! (Please note that the park charges a $10 vehicle entrance fee if you enter between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM.)
📅 Check the attached screenshots for our passenger meeting times and call-in procedure, which can be utilized by the public.
📞 Anyone can call our recorded flight information line to check the launch status for the day, and everyone is welcome to come watch the balloons take flight!
Thinking about flying? We occasionally have openings for walk-up passengers, so it’s always worth asking!
Pack a picnic, bring a blanket or lawn chairs, gather the kids, and spend the evening enjoying one of the most unforgettable sights at Letchworth State Park.
We hope to see you there! 🌅🎈
Another spectacular summer morning over @letchworthstatepark. This clip highlights the Archery Field, as we approach and fly above the overlook before going out into the gorge.
Rarely do we meet up so closely at altitude. This was a fun moment! For those who know the area, you can see Denton Corners Road below, leading to the Castile entrance of the park; the Great Bend Overlook and Wolf Creek area also are visible in the background.
Happy 250th, USA; it’s a beautiful land!
From aloft, the rising mist was visible at the Upper, Middle, and Lower Falls @letchworthstatepark
🎈Our thanks to pilots and crews for traveling from all over the northeast to join us this weekend.
💪🏼To our own crew who volunteered their time to set up balloons to be ready to fly.
🌲To the park staff who supported the event behind the scenes.
🏡To RE/MAX, a faithful sponsor who helped cover some of our expenses.
👏🏼And to all those who came out to support us through purchasing merchandise. We hope to see many of you at our launches and smaller events throughout the rest of the season.
🇺🇸Finally, we join our fellow Americans this weekend remembering those who made the ultimate sacrifice to allow us the freedoms to do things like fly hot air balloons from state parks. We honor them and their families this Memorial Day weekend! 🇺🇸
Liberty Balloon Company offers flight training, balloon events and parties, corporate promotions, wedding packages—and we are one of the only balloon operations in the country whose pilots have extensive experience in all of these categories.
We’ve dropped skydivers and hang gliders from our balloons, bungee-jumped from the gondola, and flown over landmarks from Niagara Falls to the Rockies. We fly the Re/Max balloons for New York and New Jersey. We’ve had weddings in the gondola, given rides to multiple centenarians, and we have a flawless safety record.
So when you want a specialized hot-air balloon event, trust Liberty Balloon Company to host your experience!
