Well, howdy there! Let me tell ya’ll about this here Horseshoe Bay Resort Hot Air Balloon Festival. It’s somethin’ else, I tell ya!
First off, them balloons, they ain’t just any balloons. They come from all over the United States, every which way. Imagine that! All them pretty colors floatin’ in the sky. It’s like a big ol’ party up there, and we’re all invited to watch. They say it’s the first time since 2019 they’re doin’ this at Horseshoe Bay. Folks been waitin’ a long time for this, I reckon.
Now, this here festival, it ain’t just about balloons, though them balloons are mighty impressive. They got live music too! I heard tell of a fella named Craig, plays real nice music. Gets your toes tappin’, it does. So you got somethin’ to look at and somethin’ to listen to. Can’t beat that, can ya?
- Balloons from all over: Yep, they come from everywhere, just like I said. It’s a sight to see, all them different colors and shapes.
- Live music: Get your groove on while you watch them balloons. They got folks singin’ and playin’ all sorts of tunes.
- Food and drinks: I ain’t talked about this yet, but they got food and drinks too. Can’t have a party without somethin’ to eat and drink, right? You can get your fill, that’s for sure. Good eats, too, not that fancy stuff.
They hold this shindig over at the Horseshoe Bay Ranch. It’s a big ol’ place, plenty of room for everyone. And let me tell ya, it ain’t just for the grown-ups. The whole family can enjoy it. Kids love them balloons, and the music is good for everyone. They say it’s a “visual treat”, whatever that means. It just means it looks purdy, I guess.
I heard tell they been doin’ balloon stuff for a long time in other places, like that Albuquerque place. They got hundreds of balloons! Can you imagine? Horseshoe Bay ain’t that big yet, but they got a good start with over 20 balloons. That’s plenty for me, I tell ya. It’s enough to make you crane your neck lookin’ up at the sky.
Now, if you wanna go, you gotta get up early. Them balloons, they go up in the mornin’. Gates open at 6:30am. That’s early, I know, but it’s worth it. The air is cool, the sun is just comin’ up, and them balloons… well, they’re just somethin’ special. They say some other places fly balloons in the evenin’ too. Like that London place with the big eye thing and the queen’s house. But here, it’s a mornin’ thing, which is just fine by me.
They say August and September are good months for balloon flyin’, ’cause the weather ain’t too hot and ain’t too cold. But who knows with this here global warmin’ they talk about? Weather’s gettin’ all mixed up, I tell ya. But whenever they have this festival, it’s a good time to go. Don’t matter what the weather is, mostly.
So, if you’re lookin’ for somethin’ fun to do, somethin’ different, somethin’ the whole family will enjoy, then you gotta check out the Horseshoe Bay Resort Hot Air Balloon Festival. It’s a real treat, I tell ya. You won’t be disappointed. Just remember to bring your camera, ’cause you’re gonna wanna take some pictures. And wear your comfortable shoes, ’cause you’ll be doin’ some walkin’. And most importantly, bring your smile. You’re gonna need it, ’cause you’ll be grinnin’ from ear to ear.
They used to have a boat thing too, I think. But this time it’s all about them balloons. And that’s fine. Balloons are good. They make you feel happy and free, like you could just float away. And sometimes, that’s what you need, you know?
So there ya have it. That’s the lowdown on the Horseshoe Bay Resort Hot Air Balloon Festival. Hope to see ya’ll there!
