Chamber of Commerce Balloon Roundup Festival

July 12, 2026

What started as a small hot air balloon event with a handful of balloons in 2005 has now become a weekend-long festival that attracts balloonists and tourists from all around the United States.

Taking place every annually on the second weekend of July, this event features a variety of colorful hot air balloons as they paint the Casper sky.

The balloons will launch on Sunday, July 12th at 6AM from Mike Sedar Park.

Watch as 15 or more balloons fill the morning sky with vibrant colors. Spectators can get up close and watch the crews prepare for launch and talk to the pilots before the 6AM mass launch.

Pro tip: after the launch at Mike Sedar Park, the best spots to watch the event are on Casper Mountain at lookout point or the National Historic Trails Interpretive Center. At both locations, you'll get a great view of the balloons over Downtown Casper.
